Comments on: World of Goo Publisher Goes Bankrupt http://independently-speaking.com/2009/01/31/world-of-goo-publisher-goes-bankrupt/ I Play Games and Write Stuff Wed, 28 Dec 2011 12:19:05 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: independentlyspeaking http://independently-speaking.com/2009/01/31/world-of-goo-publisher-goes-bankrupt/#comment-87 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 07:19:19 +0000 http://independentlyspeaking.wordpress.com/?p=549#comment-87 I think at the time of their claim, many believed that the guys hadn’t taken dynamic ips into consideration, plus the fact that buyers may have installed the game on multiple PCs, therefore meaning the actual piracy rate could potentially be anything in a large range. Of course, as you point out Greg, they were very open about their methods and had no reason to fudge the results.

As for Top Chef the Game, I may have to find a copy and give it a go, it sounds excitingly delicious :)

They were quite forward and open with their methodologies, and there was no reason to doubt their numbers. This is especially true when you realize that their product is DRM-free and they weren’t using the piracy figures as an excuse to add any.

As for Brighter Minds, keep in mind that they have many, many games that they publish, and World of Goo doesn’t even seem to be their best-selling product. That honor apparently goes to Top Chef the Game.
