A hilarious blog post of a studio who discovered there games are pirated. They even say

Of course, I would feel very bad if anybody paid $120 for a free game

I learned when I released an unsuccessful mobile game a couple years ago that there are apparently automated piracy sites out there. I say that because we found a seemingly hacked version of the game on some sketchy app sites just a week after releasing it (and nobody knew about our game, so I highly doubt it was done by hand).

There are a lot of websites that pretend to give you a hacked version but all the download button does is to show more ads. They just automatically fill pages with automatically stolen content from play store

Sounds believable. We definitely didn't download it so I couldn't say for sure.
