If you do a quick research, a lot of game developers still use the full/demo style of game publishing. In my games, I still haven't implemented any registration system, just a simple demo and full version so I guess I will be prone to these types of warez-ing. One way to decrease your piracy rate would be to decrease you're price. This gives users the dilemma whether to just buy a decently priced game and be a legal user than go with warez. Well, at least it works for me. In fact, there are still a lot of good souls out there. :)

My 2 cents,

Erick :)

You guys either don't understand how important this Handango security breach is to the WHOLE PocketPC software market or you don't care. If you don't care then what are you doing on PocketMatrix?
Then there is second group that include sponge. I bet sponge does not understand what the breach means :(

Mlepage,

As of this moment, I wont advise you to depend on PPC market. Especially if you spend $ in foods or misc expense such as bills bills bills. But if you're in other countries where $ can be multiplied by your currency then it's ok.

I would rather make this as a hobby and at the same time earn while having a full time job. For sure, you're secure. [//fyi. im a family man too]

Goodluck.
