Everybody who downloaded our game illegally (for free) has now a chance to redeem himself and get the latest version of the game (Win+Mac+Linux) and it’s fantastic Soundtrack only for $5 (instead of $20).
Click here to buy Machinarium.
We released the game DRM free which means it doesn’t include any anti-piracy protection, therefore the game doesn’t bother players with any serial codes or online authentication, but it’s also very easy to copy it. Our estimate from the feedback is that only 5-15% of Machinarium players actually paid for the game. If you decide to buy the game, you can be sure you’ll support directly the developers, not any big publisher or distributor.
Listen to this pirate song composed by Tomas Dvorak specially for this occasion:
Tomas Dvorak - Pirate AmnestyThe offer runs from August 5th to 12th.
Update:
we just want to assure you, we don’t think you have pirated the game first if are going to buy it now:)
This sale isn’t only for pitaes, it’s for all. Thanks to everybody who paid for the game!
