The last time I sold keys, someone tried to say that they didn't get theres even though they activated it. So I don't want do that sort of thing anymore. Also, the best you can do is report those links on those websites, report the people hosting those games of mine or anyone elses. That is how I got the illegal Fairy Tail game (Fairy Light) taken down. I went directly to the creator of the anime Fairy Tail and it eventually got taken down. I would suggest spreading the games of mine and others and sharing it with people. There are plenty of people out there who don't know the existence of my games. Take advantage of sales, always spread the word. I am also in the upcoming game; The Judge. Definitely putting a pirate criminal in there now because of this.

Just bought Exi again! I know its not much, but I'll go through the others that I hadn't yet here or on steam attained and help out.
On the matter of keys... yeah that would be the real downside in so doing whilst operating independently. I'm just trying to think of ways not to have your dream taken from you nor these stories end in this way : ( but at risk of sounding too para social, i'll stand by you no matter what.
Will report then. I would also advise in that instance you also contact the site admins and not just the posters! I likely wager you have already, but if legal action is to proceed, you must take all possible avenues of publicly and privately, with copies, making the poster and site admin crystal clearly aware the copyright holder (You) wish your image, creative property and characters reserved from public, non acquired/paid/owned view.
I have already sent cease and desist letters to the admins of different websites. I appreciate that you have bought the game and I once again thank you for your loyalty. Making video games was never quite my dream, it was just something I ended up doing. I originally wanted to be a veterinarian as I love animals. However, I cannot bring myself to put them down. Anyways to quote Final Fantasy X "Someday the dream will end."
