Let me start this off by relaying a piece of news I found to be hilarious. The developer of this game released their own cracked / pirated version of the game the same day as its release. Wait…what!? These guys certainly have a sense of humor, having built code into the pirated version that dwindles funds away from the player as the result of in-game piracy. Needless to say, those who pirated “Game Dev Tycoon” did not react well to the in-game piracy issues they had to deal with…how’s that for irony? At any rate, “Game Dev Tycoon” will put you in the role of a developer trying to start their own game development company (and if you didn’t pirate the game itself, you might actually succeed). Before we get started getting into the nitty-gritty details, I’d like to thank Patrick Klug from Greenheart Games for providing me with a free review copy.
