I think the question is, How does one get caught with their pirated app on the App store? If you don't even go on the Scirra forums or website at all, and just pirated C2, made an app, then sold it and didn't mention that it was made with C2, how WOULD they get caught, except pot luck from a C2 supporter downloading the game, hex editing it, and realising the files contain text referring to C2.Even then there is no way to prove that developer used C2 as Windows/Linux/Mac OS app - but not just javascript code from the free games in the internet, that is legal a guess :-)

All is about solidarity there.

I believe this answer is what I'm looking for: developer make payment from earned money to invest in himself by investing in C2. Thanks!

Um I don't believe any exported C2 game has any copy protection. C2 toolkit as some kind, but the resulting games do not. If you want the games to have copy protection. I believe your currently on your own.o: why it better for me to pay 119$ for Personal C2 license if I can not to do it just using pirated version? If I want to update my C2 version I just have to install another pirated version.

Those who pay money for C2 explain your decision, please.

Answer: He reads Your forum posts... I want to make my released soon game engine profitable, that's why I ask this question.

I know that I can but I do not.

To make a final point in this question following is the most substantial.

Also note license files contain your personal information which we can link to your payment details, so we can immediately locate the individuals and payment details involved in these "cracks"!

But I can not expand it in real use-case. For example:

1. I make a game with pirated version of C2

2. I export it for PhoneGap

3. I compile APK in Eclipse

4. I publish it on Google Play

5. Ashley download my APK

6. What is next? How Ashley can check am I pirate or not?

Kyatric,

Pirate is man who have maked game with C2 and have published it on Android and iOS markets without paying 119$ for C2 Personal license.

<font size="3">All other licenses are purchased but C2 Personal license is not.</font>

Relation between C2 torrents and my game engine release is that if C2 can not avoid piracy how will do I?

I can not understand why somebody should pay 119$ if it is possible not to do it?

On the flip side it does show just how popular C2 is becoming, if people want it so badly that they are willing to pirate it!I wonder because I don't know what to do with privacy in relation to my game engine + level editor + tens of plugins + builder for Android and iOS. I believe it can be profitable, but when I see Construct 2 torrents in the internet I lose my faith.

Can anyone help me with question professionally?

Well I'm not sure how cocoon is doing things currently, but Im pretty sure they are planning on some licensing.

Beyond that you absolutely have to purchase a license to publish to Apple.

Then I haven't even checked to see what is involved with publishing to Android market.Yes but it does not mean you can not use hacked Construct 2 for making Android and iOS games.

The problem there is you will need a license for those platforms as well, and there's really no way to cheat that.

Do you say the same that I said just in other way?

I guess

published worksmeans APKs/IPAs.

Typical APK content is: classes.dex, assets, res, META-INF, AndroidManifest.xml, resources.arsc

Construct 2 license is just .txt file in the Construct 2 installation root directory.

So, how can this APK content "remember" something about Construct 2 involvement at all? And if it does not "remember", than how can I apply

one common method used by other companies ... to "imprint" published works with the license used to produce it

Why would anyone even bother to pirate C2 when there is a free version anyway?

Because with FREE version you can not build app for Android and iOS http://www.scirra.com/store/construct-2
