Today, my app was hacked and available to download for free if you have a Jailkreacb device :(

I have more people in Gamecenter than the ones who have purchased the game ePig Dive, LOL.

At Least gamecenter will have more competition, thats always better, but to many people will play it for free :(

Cheers.

    Almost every iPhone game is available to download for free on a jail broken device. My one game with only 400 downloads was hacked.

    Don't worry about it :D Almost every game gets hacked! Nothing you can really do about it.

    Man that sucks :/ Try to find the positives.

    More competition with game center.
    Gets your name out there a bit more.

    That's thing about piracy, a majority of pirates more than likely wouldn't have purchased your game/app anyway. So don't sweat it, it's not like you lost a sale with that pirate version.

    Apple should really combat this with some kind of encryption key in game center.

    It should have a confirmation that you have purchased the game to play it..

    I want someone to hack Tiny Balls but no one has yet :(

    Lol, YEah i know it has some good points to, I will get more mouth to mouth, and people that download it free… wont pay it anyway.

    The bad THing Is that I can`t have an estimate of downloads based on gamecenter anymore.

    Cheers.
