Crazy Idea – Game developers pirate their own game
The Pirate Bay trial have no impact on overall piracy. People still use pirated content for the sake of saving money. According to New.Com.AU Piracy increased in days after Pirate Bay closed. So closing a website is not enough to close the pirated content door and truly it’s hard to close. So, we have to find a way to use it for good purpose.
RedLynx, the developer of the well received downloadable title Trials, said that they seeded pirate torrent sites with neutered copies of the game in order to stoke interest in the title. - Kotaku
They actually put away the leaderboard support from pirated version which is the soul of that game. Downloader can play the full game without any problem or any time limit but they can’t feel the leaderboard if they want to taste the actual fun. So, they have to buy the full game if they want the complete feature. It’s somewhat a demo version without a demo tag.

Its really crazy idea to promote own product and also show us how can we use the bad monster for good purpose.
So, what your view in this crazy idea?
