Wait what? People pirate Iphone games? Are they really that cheap not to pay a measley .99 pence? or whatever the price is in UK. What sites are they posted on? I wanna check them out when my game is done.
Wow, so the game is already on various pirate sites.. That was quick. Oh well, I will just take it as a complement :). At least people are playing the game. It sort of sucks.. I don't mind people downloading as long as they like it and are playing. But then on the other hand this also affects the charity we are donating to.
Well we tracked the pirate down. We did a promo code give away and this guy took our pomo code and cracked our app. He didn't even buy the app to rip us off! Here is what I have been posting on various developer forums so people stop giving this guy their apps.
Yeah, LOTS of people pirate iphone games. Just search google for appname.ipa and you will come across MANY sites. In our case it is Santas Delivery.ipa. I was surprised too. I mean its 99 cents, I guess it is mainly younger kids who don't have a credit card I guess. Oh well, can't be helped.
Sucks to hear that, piracy is rife in iPhone apps, so many stories like this one. Also makes you realise just how many people download apps for the iOS platform when you hear of the big companies sales figures, and then add on to that the same number, if not more in pirated apps. Something you could try is just jump on…
