Evil pirates are everywhere.
You know what really irks me, though?
The way the pirates slap their name onto your game.
They don't dig into the innards and fiddle with things that would intrude on the player's experience, but they do slap their name on the download filename.
Eg, I could make a game called Mr Hippo's Happy Adventure, and the pirate download would end up as "[MrKipper] - Mr Hippo's Happy Adventure.ipa", thus giving MrKipper the fanfare, and taking it away from me.
Grrr!!

It's hard enough trying to build up an audience without the pirates grabbing all the attention.

It's an evil thing to do.
Grrr.

They could, at the very least, stick [James Gamble] or [AGameAWeek] onto the thing.

But no, they don't bother.
They don't even stick a link, anywhere, to the official download.
You'd think "hey, at least it's getting some exposure", and.. yeah, that might be true, but with their watermark on it, and no link to the official download, it's a bit piss-poor from my side.
I'm basically working my arse off to get THEM a bit more exposure.

Stupid damn pirates.

Grrr!!!!

... Anyway..
