Gratuitous Behavior

Indie Developer Positech Games is releasing an incredible game called “Gratuitous Space Battles“:
Positech developer Cliff Harris made big headlines on SlashDot when he wrote an open letter to pirates asking why would they steal from a small indie developer. He got some surprisingly frank answers and posted them on his blog. He took many responses to heart and made some changes to see how the pirate community would better receive and actually buy his product.
Unsurprisingly, many pirates didn’t.
After all that trouble, I certainly hope that he makes some gratuitous amounts of money with this beautiful game.
