I was just thinking that if your game is good enough to be pirated, you can bundle it with tons of spyware, malware, and adware (Not the nice kind, the kind that will destroy your computer, steal your credit card number, and pay $2 per install) and make a lot of money. Has anyone tried this?

Also, I heard one guy made a cell phone game that dialed one of those charge your phone bill numbers if it used an illegal reg key.

Has anyone here made money off something like this?

anothersomething: most peole wouldn't even bother trying to do this because most people here use common sense. When your trying to build a business with a good reputation you don't do things that would cause people to hate you. Just imagine how mad the person who just paid $20 for their game would be if they typed in a wrong key.

I'm locking this before it gets out of hand.
