Shooter sells 130,000 copies despite 'staggering' amount of illegal file sharing
Indie shooter Hotline Miami has been pirated at extraordinary levels, the project manager on the title has said.
Speaking to Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-12-11-the-hotline-miami-sales-story-and-more), Graeme Struthers said that the title had been torrented illegally online at a staggering level, which was also not helped by the small size of the game.
"It has been torrented to such a staggering level, and given the file size of it, I mean, you can't really be surprised, right?” said Struthers.
“You could pass this thing around on the world's smallest memory stick. So it has been torrented to extraordinary levels."
Despite being pirated to such a large extent, Hotline Miami has managed to sell 130,000 copies.
