    What is this guy talking about???  I'm 2 races away from beating the entire CSR game and I haven't spent a dime...  This game isn't different than Dragonvale - you have to put time in it if you want to level up and such.  The biggest thing about CSR?  You have to wait until the agent shows up to sell you car for half price (which she does rather often).  If you do that it really shouldn't be a problem...

There certainly won't be a significant volume of the 300 million+ users who go out of their way to steal the content.


     


    If you make a game and put it on the app store for sale at the cheapest paid price (non-free) then you can expect 100x more users to play your game than buy it. i.e. for every 1 person that buys it you can expect 100 to pirate and play it (can be seen easily from server -side high scores etc).

    Because they are Russians? You racist bastard, haha... Im quite sure you wouldn't want to pass a Swede like me your username and password either... The jailbreak solution seams to be far safer, although one would need to undergo the actual jailbreak, messy, makes it kinda not worth it...

     Sure, the threat of the death penalty in "civilized" countries such a Iran, China and the USA has made these enlightened states murder free...

    Theft is rather a felony or a misdemeanor. Moreover piracy is a copyright infringement, no physical product is stolen here, this is more of a shortfall than a loss.

     To be fair to the fellow he has now changed things to force users to log out of their account, thus mitigating the risk of anyone accusing him of stealing personal details.

    On Android you can expect high levels of piracy:

    "The problem is much worse on Android,” he said, when asked about the iPhone. ”You need to jailbreak iOS,” he said. “Most don’t.” It doesn’t look like it’s been a particularly good day for the developer. ”Piracy on Android is the worst I’ve seen in my career in games,”

    Less than 10% of iPhones are jailbroken so while 30 million users is still significant and can lead to significant piracy rates for certain apps, it's nowhere near 100:1 in general:
