Spreading the word about a game you pirated and enjoyed is "at worst an equal trade," Hakita says.

The strategy makes a lot of business sense too. It’s why piracy controls in Microsoft Windows were so weak for so long.

Steve Ballmer said something along the lines of if the Chinese are going to pirate software, I want it to be Microsoft software.

I’m not sure if this game has an online mode but generally speaking the network effect of online means more people playing equals a better online experience. If half those people didn’t pay, the ones who did pay still get a better online experience right?
