Retro Dreamer has a post outlining their concerns over pirated copies of their game Sneezies (99¢). While they were unable to find a true figure for how many copies of their game have been pirated they have a rough idea, about 5-10%. How did they find out? In Sneezies they have a news section with up to date info. They point pirate versions to a different update and acquired the stats by how many times the pirate update was accessed. The message?

That's the nicest, most non-threatening way of saying "buy our shit" ever. I think the personalized message for pirates was pretty clever and I hope it creates a few more sales for them. Any other game out there doing something similar?
