Is it pirating if the developer does it ?

Published on February 14, 2010 By aroddoold In PC Gaming

Forum post from the CEO of Ntronium, developer of Armada 2526:

Here's a new [patch] version of 1.02 https://rcpt.yousendit.com/816756588/c1a158bbff57af7b4b681677f9c2fe3b

Sorry it still won't work for impulse version, but it will be final in a few days anyway.

...

and a few posts later:

Oops, wrong link. That was a complete version of the game.

Try the link that's there now

Heh something similar happened with the devs of Project: Aftermath, who had the full version posted as the demo on Steam for over a month. To answer your question, however, it depends on the particular arrangements they may have with the publishers.

The guys at Redlynx specifically put out a copy of their Trials 2 game on torrent sites without access to the leaderboards... as the leaderboards make those games

This is SO funny. My brother and I were laughing pretty hard when we read this.
