When i 1st heard this, i was thinking, man... Screwattack sure hates piracy, i mean who doesn't? its stealing. Even if you can say "I love this game", but you own the pirated version, that isn't supporting the team who put their effort to make it.
Well, here in Malaysia, guess what, piracy is pretty big too. When you get a real original game, people will start saying "man... you paid so much for that???" it gets annoying when you keep hearing that. There is also a reason, most can't afford it, but they wanna play it, and they think its a con job to buy it like 100 ringgit plus.
