@Sodeka (M-shark) posted a new topic, subject "[Can be locked]I pirated the game, then bought it". It read:

   Hi guys !  
    Before I'm getting started, I would like to say three things :
    
      1. This is NOT a troll post.
      2. English isn't my language, so my text won't be mistake-less (i'm not even sure this is a real word)
      3. If you're not interested in what I have to say and post here just to flood, well admins can shut down this thread.
    
    
    
    I first heard of Game Dev Tycoon 1month ago on a forum, where a member reposts the famous story behind the version that Greenhearts releases on the torrent sites. Back then I thought it was a clever ad abd that's it.
    
    A few days ago, I was bored so I searched a new games I could play on a pirate site. Then I came across Game Dev Tycoon (the true version, not the “your games are pirated” one), I downloaded it and then play it for a good 6hours straight.  
    Then I realised : “Wait a minute, how much does that game really costs ?”
    
    I went to your website and saw it was only 7€. I didn't believe it. I bought it on the spot (I admit your graph showing the repartition between true copies and pirated ones influenced me).
    
    The point is I would never have thought of downloading the game if I knew it was only 7€.
    
    But now I'm having a blast with it and in a clean way. So I take off my hat to you, sirs and ladies of GreenHeart.
    
    And btw, now that I have both copies, how do I transfer my save ?

To which @Charlie (Charlie ) replied

    If you install it to the same path your saves will remain in the same place i believe.  
    The location of the saves depends on your operating system. let me know which OS you are using i will let you know.
    
    And thanks for purchasing

Then @Sodeka (M-shark) said

    I use Windows 7 x64  
    The OS is on a SSD and the game is on a seperate HDD.

@Sodeka (M-shark) replied

    It worked well, thanks

After which, @Sodeka (M-shark) added

    @Juanpe97  
    I don't want a massive coming out of “i pirated it” on my thread alright ?
    
    If admins could close/lock it now, that would be nice.
    
    Regards.

    @Juan, don't worry, I'm 15 aswell, and mum said as long as I transfer money to her account, I can always buy games

So @Lumi75 (Ade) replied

    I **wish** i was 15 again
