Mcpixel developer did the same. He even gave some legit steam and desura keys on the torrent comments!

Team Meat (of Super Meat Boy fame) also came out to say that they don't believe piracy hurts their sales as much as other members of the industry believes.

Yep, if it was meant to be free, it would be free on desura or web page or something :)

On one hand I think it is a hoax on the other I think somebody has understood that stoping piracy will not increase sales (much).

Its the 15th selling game on steam. I dont think they need any kind of pity money.

Piracy works in weird ways. I'm not saying go out and pirate games, but it does create word of mouth assuming that your game is good. Word of mouth is a very powerful advertisement tool. Pirate talks about it -> Somebody gets curious -> They buy it -> People hear it even more -> More sales. When your game is 'shit' ie Red Orchestra 2 word of mouth plays and everybody thinks it's shit even though it's been improved on what was wrong. Why? Word of mouth of the original thoughts of it is "shit." This game? I've seen it once at school and I love the music and gameplay already.
