News:: Darkwood devs put the full game on The Pirate Bay out of guilt

Well, this is unexpected. The Pirate Bay usually receives pushback from game studios rather than being utilized as a promotional tool or, in this case, a way to please the masses. This especially holds true for indie developers, who often aren't backed by an established publisher and rely on game sales to stay afloat.

Acid Wizard Studio is one such developer, comprised of three brothers from Poland. In a case of extreme guilt, they've decided to release their top-down horror game Darkwood in its entirety as a torrent on The Pirate Bay. It seems to be collecting mostly positive reviews on Steam, and Ray dug what he's played of it, so I'm not sure what Acid Wizard has to feel bad about, but they explained their reasoning on Imgur.
