Sosowski was so excited over people being interested enough to download the game without his permission that he decided to partner with The Pirate Bay and organize a promotion.
The PC version of McPixel, which is also available on iOS and Android, had already been posted to torrent sites before this weekend, as reported by Kotaku. The Verge gave the game a score of 8 out of 10, stating 'McPixel is the step further, a parody of a parody. McPixel received positive reviews, with a critic score of 76/100 on Metacritic for the PC version, and 83/100 critic score for the iOS version. It is essentially the now-common “pay what you want” business model, but presented by a website whose cofounder was recently arrested for evading a copyright infringement-related prison sentence. The game was released on 25 June 2012 for Android and iPhone and as a computer game. He hopes that by letting people download the game for free, those who like it will choose to return to his website and give him money. What makes this different from most games available on this and similar sites is that the developer, Mikolaj Kaminski - who goes by the name Sos Sosowski - wanted it there. For this weekend only, the front page of The Pirate Bay has been rebranded into “The Promo Bay” and is inviting people to download McPixel, a point-and-click-style game in which you must solve a series of 20-second WarioWare-esque puzzles.
