Gotta disagree with you there:

the developers behind the popular PlayStation Vita game Superbeat Xonic, are thanking pirates after a cracked version of their game was widely shared on Reddit.

They even went so far as to offer additional discounts to these pirates so that they can purchase a legitimate copy.

And reading up on Reddit, they really did that. and got quite a positive response about it as well.

So yeah, while the first sentence doesn't do wonders, the article really is about the developer being happy people are pirating the game

I remember the creator of McPixel did the same thing when it wound up on pirate bay.

So basically click bait then.

but how they respond can make quite a difference, reports Torrentfreak.
