In certain point of the game your virtual game studio goes bankrupt due to piracy.
BUT this only happens if you have an illegal copy of this game :)

But is it really an illegal copy if the developer was the one to deliberately "leak" the "cracked" version? Or could it be considered a legal "unofficial" freeware version, intended by the developer, for distribution through torrent trackers, purely for the purpose of gaining a whole lot of free publicity for their game?

And what about including something in their game where you lose a lot of money because another less ethical game company decided to copy your games in order to steal profits away from you? You know, like the developers of this game did when they copied GameDev Story. Oh, I guess they forgot about that, or they just didn't want it to be that amusingly ironic.  :D
