So, it seems there are way more pirates playingMachinariumthan there are legit players. According to Amanita Design, we’re looking at 5 to 15 percent — that’s how many paid for the game. As with many independent games,Machinariumis free of DRM, making piracy a painless process.
That’s not what this story is about, though; sadly, those estimates aren’t exactly unusual. No, the news here is how Amanita Design is offering pirates a chance at redemption. From now through August 12,Machinarium(Windows/Mac/Linux + soundtrack) is down to $5.
Normally, this excellent adventure title would run you $20. Even if you already own it, or don’t particularly care for the genre,you need to go herefor Tomas Dvorak’s chill “Pirate Amnesty” tune, which was created for this special occasion.
