An interesting story of how this small developer have treated game piracy. Quite a few games have used the 'small, game breaking flaw' in their games for piracy releases but this could be the best yet

I am actually tempted to get the game now, assuming it works on older Windows.

The game itself is a ripoff. The original game was released in 1997 and is available on iOS and Android from Kairosoft.

Screw these guys.

Not really a rip off is it, unless all FPS games where you fight aliens are a rip off of the first one?

There's a game called GameBiz that was before Game Dev Story, so is that a ripoff as well?

I bought it, fun little game but a lot harder than Game Dev Story! Really easy to go bankrupt with a few bad decisions.
