Indie dev tinyBuild has released its critically acclaimed platformer, No Time To Explain, onto The Pirate Bay, but with a bit of a fun bonus – in this version, all the game’s main characters are wearing pirate hats.
“We thought it’d be funny to leak a pirate version ourselves which is literally all about pirates and pirate hats,” creator Alex Nichiporchik tells TorrentFreak. “I mean, some people are going to torrent it either way, we might as well make something funny out of it.”
“You can’t really stop piracy, all you can do is make it work for you and/or provide something that people actually want to pay for. For us this is humour, we like making people laugh.”
“We saw very positive WTF REALLY feedback from users, and saw reactions that people bought it simply because they liked the joke. So we don’t see it hurting sales in any way,” he adds.
The game was originally released on Flash portal Newgrounds in January, and became an instant hit, prompting Nichiporchik and Tom Brien to develop a full version for PC, Mac, and Linux.
