If we receive a private message asking for a serial numer, is there someone we should forward it to?

Did they send you a registration code in return? I got something like that too, and gave them a fake code because I hate people like that (It wouldn't shouldn't matter if you gave them your code or not, because each device has it's own unique device number that will match up with the registration code given when you purchase it).

Piracy is dumb, and it makes me mad that people do it. I actually think there is a hacked version of this game out there, I have heard of people on other forums talking about how they have one, so if there is one, I will help track down that dite for you guys (Handmark and Spiffcode).

Have a nice time trying to remove it from 1000's of computers, and from 1000's of users on IRC DBZ...

You cannot remove all of it, especially if it comes from a Chinese/Russian site where such regulations do not exist much.

By the way, you don't need a serial number if the game is "patched" and all Palm games can be easily patched.

Yes, I already know what both of you stated, but you can get it off of several sites (such as the bigger more popular ones), making it harder to find the game, but it will always still be hard to stop, and I am not stupid so don't be a smart alic with me. IRC is probably one of the bigger problems.

They offered Monopoly, and a working serial number for it. I just ignored the message, but thought that one of the admins here, or possibly a developer, would like to know about it.

I think Timon does have some valid points. I never really thought about how pay scales are so different in other countries, and how it could affect gaming, etc. Pirated or no, it also demonstrates how gaming can cross so many cultural/geographical lines and give us all some common ground. Something the world could use more of, IMO. I'm purposely not judging whether it makes the piracy right or wrong, but it is some pretty hefty food for thought.

As for the pirates here or elsewhere who can legitimately afford it, that's still just wrong. Sad

That would be one way to go about it, but will it happen? I'd say probably 'nyet'. Laughing Still, it is good to know that you wouldn't pirate if you had a choice. Keep on gaming, comarade! Smile

The answer to whether you should give out your serial code is Absolutely NOT.

There have been some good points made in this forum thread about different countries and different costs.

We hear what is being said and will take it into consideration.

Thanks for the concern and integrity regarding piracy of the game.

Does it bug you too? I really can't stand it, it makes me mad when people pirate games, and even software too. You could easily go download any piece of software for free, which is pretty lame. But, I would also have to agree and can see why some people do it, because they live in foriegn countries where it costs the same, but they don't make anywhere as much as some people do, causing them not being able to buy it.

It wasn't that long ago that I was in college and had a lot more free time then I did money. So I understand what it's like to want something but not being to afford it. However, I also understand that the developers worked hard on this project for several years and took many risks along the way. No one could predict how popular this game would be. That being said, we are sensitive to those in other countries who don't have the same currency, which results in a skewed price for the game. As I said in my last post, we will look into what a practical solution might be.
