    I’m a game developer. My lifestyle and well being depends on people downloading my games and me getting paid for it.

    Piracy is a non-issue. My top game is available on various cracking websites, but it’s not worth my effort to go after them since my payers aren’t the people who are on those websites anyways.

    Cheating is a bigger issue, but it’s not something that grows in popularity since it ruins the fun in a game.
