    UPDATE: This is now done, please check out the announcement

    Yesterday (Aprils Fools Day) I posted in my blog that "I'm starting Bounty Hunters Ltd and start hunting software pirates (that was just an april fools joke). I got one young kid to actually apply for a job, and I've shared his email in my today's blog post.

    This guy really wants to nail pirates, and although I cannot hire that guy for my fake "bounty hunting" company :D I thought it would be good to reward this chap.

    If possible, please consider donating your game to this guy who emailed me. He's 16 years old and many of the guys at his age are pirates (I know I was...). I think he's behavior should be rewarded.

    Any takers? (please email me with registration key/download instructions that I can pass to this guy if you wanna participate in this "reward campaign")
