Machinarium's developers forgive you, pirates
​Critically acclaimed adventure game Machinarium was released last year for a $20 price point and no annoying copy protection. That's a big plus for gamers who hate all the nonsense copy protection brings with it, but obviously it also made pirating the game no hassle at all. 

Despite its awards and favorable critical reception, developer Amanita Design estimates that only 5-15% of Machinarium players actually bought the game. But they're not bitter. In fact, they're offering amnesty.

During Amanita's "Pirate Amnesty" sale, anyone (pirate or otherwise) who wants a legal copy of the game can grab one for a measly five bucks. Not only do get the full game for that price, you also get the soundtrack, and it's available on PC, Mac or Linux. So what are you waiting for? Grab this acclaimed indie game here!

I hadn't played Machinarium yet, so I put my money where my mouth is and bought a copy this morning. If you don't know what the fuss is about, check out the stunning trailer below. Thanks to Cheap Ass Gamer for the link.
