What's even more spectacular about MV is that they claim a 95% piracy rate on the game. (imagine what their revenue could have been!! )

Piracy on Android games are INCREDIBLY high which makes paid game on Android a no-go these days.

It might be a dumb question but how do you even install a mobile game "illegally"? Alternative app stores? I guess you can pass around apk for the Android version but not even sure that would work for Apple at all.

Yeah he said about android, however.... there are still all these jailbrekas for some of iOS'es, where you have alterantive app stores, so I bet that may be some way to go
