[CoolKingKaso]

What a dick.

And this is a surprise.... how?

[DaMoggen]

They should be jailed.

I never mentioned it being new. I remember an old case with the artist Benn Jordan.

[Starpluck]

I used to love Lugaru, fuck him.

[QUOTE=Nautsabes;27832039]No it wouldn't have, Wolfire doesn't want it redistributed.

And putting it up for free kinda undermines Wolfire selling it in the app store in the first place.[/QUOTE]

This.

[John the Gr8]

iFaggot should get sued

[pr00ch]

Fuck this, buying some Wolffire games just because I'm sorry for them.
Ignorrant fuck.

I'll just buy it for cheap to "sample" it first.

Ya then I'll buy it uh-huh.

[QUOTE=Contag;27833207]Wow, you should see a professional.[/QUOTE]

Yeah I should. A professional hitman.

This is vile and wrong. Whoever did this thing should have their hand cut off, preferably the hand used to illegally upload the game at the click of the mouse.

...what? It's what they used to do back in Arabia to thieves, after all.

Hey they are just trying to get around the DRM man it's not stealing it's copying.

[Funky Mummy]

Are you kidding me Apple? What the fuck. I went on their Mac App Store and filtered for all games starting on L since searching for Lugaru doesn't show anything. Guess what, I find the scam one but not Wolfire's own game.

What the fuck apple. I bet they removed Wolfire's instead of the scammer's for some dumb reason.

It's not a scam it's just copying you can't compare it that way.

Fine, it's not a scam but that doesn't give him the right to do it. Stop defending him. He has stolen their game. It does not matter. He's a thief and should not be treated as anything else.

Haha, wow.

[Explosions]

Hey guys don't worry.

I'll buy the less expensive version first to sample it.

Then I'll go back and buy the real one.

This guy is selling the game as his own work, undercutting their price, making them loose sales and profiting from it, different ball park from downloading a copy for yourself without paying anyone.

[Kalibos]

isn't lugaru that terrible game where you play as a rabbit with boxing gloves and beat up other rabbits with boxing gloves

It's stealing their IP.

[ifaux]

And because this is the Mac App Store, this was posted.

An App Store reviewer didn't realize that the game wasn't created by the person submitting. They'll take it down soon.

[QUOTE=Benlecyborg;27841221]There is always one guy in a thread like this that defends the bad doing person as best as they can with really horrible arguments. Why is this? I know everyone has the right to an opinion but they could at least provide a reasonable argument instead of using sarcasm and stupid replies like they all do.[/QUOTE]

It's just explosion wanting to argue with pirates.

What the fuck? This guy took someone's game and sold it for his own profit, that's stealing in my book, Wolfire isn't getting the money, nor the credit to the game that he broke his ass making. This guy deserves jail time.

It may not be that big of a deal to pirate things, but when it's an indie company I have the decency to actually buy their game because it supports the company and helps it grow no matter how small the donation.

You're only saying that because you're a dirty communist scumbag! I bet you don't even know that this so-called 'thief' is very poor, and needs the money to care for his disabled children! I bet you still live in your mother's basement! You're on facepunch, you obviously know nothing. Besides, there has been a long and proud history in many countries of intellectual property sharing, and are you honestly telling me that one billion people are wrong? I think not. Did you know that 93% of doctors agree, as does Tom Cruise? You're either with this poor young man, or against people with disability everywhere! Is that you? Do you hate the sight of the differently abled? If you don't agree with me, then you're on a slippery slope to creating concentration camps for the disabled.
