What happens when people pirate a game dev simulator and then go broke because of piracy?

I thought this was hilarious justice and sad at the same time. Comment on the hypocrisy and self-entitlement of far too many people who call themselves "gamers." TL;DR: >Greenheart Games releases a video game development simulator called "Game Dev Tycoon." >Secretly, they also upload a slightly different version to a torrent site. >Pirates download the "cracked" version (which is actually the secret, slightly different version). >In the "cracked" version, over time, piracy causes your company to go broke and you lose the game. >People who downloaded the "pirated" version complain about piracy in the game. Some even suggest that players in-game should be able to implement DRM. >Lol's and tears were had by all.

  • The problem here is the pirated version assumes the player will lose sales to pirates as opposed to that copy never being played. Interesting, but utterly explainable.
