A this past weekend I decided to dump 10 codes for Tickle Stones on Touch Arcade. They were all snapped up and only one person posted what code they took. (I was a little disappointed, but not surprised - and no reviews either) Well, the next day I get a bunch of Google alerts for the app where it had been cracked (it hadn't been up to this point).
I was a bit annoyed, but then I saw a small rise in sales. No idea if there is a relation, but I've never considered having you app cracked to be all that big a deal. The people who take cracked apps are not going to be customers anyway. I'm not sure I completely agree about ever getting them to be customers.
some ppl say "if its not gonna make you any money, don't buy it"
can't say this falls under ALL situations
