Piracy Apple Games

Pirated App Sold On Mac App Store 334

iDuck writes "When Wolfire Games released their animal martial arts game, Lugaru HD, on the Mac App store, they could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double. A counterfeit version of the software is currently available on the app store at a much lower price point under the name Lugaru. The best bit: as yet Apple have not responded to Wolfire's emails to rectify the situation. While the source to the game was GPLed, 'the license made it very clear that the authors retained all rights to the assets, characters, and everything else aside from the code itself.'"

    When Wolfire Games released their animal martial arts games, 'Lugaru HD', on the Mac App store, shortly after they could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double.

    Let's parse it:

    "When Wolfire Games released their animal martial arts games" - this gives the epoch when the rest of the sentence happened, it was all at the same time as the game was released

    "'Lugaru HD', on the Mac App store," - this is a more detailed explanation that tells us what game was that and where it was released

    "shortly after they could be forgiven for thinking they were seeing double" - this is a more detailed explanation of the time, it all happened shortly after the time when they could be forgiven

    " . " - oops, this sentence no verb and no subject.
