Machinarium Pirate Amnesty Sale Extended

By james_fudge

Indie game developer Amanita, makers of the popular adventure puzzler Machinarium, has extended its pirate amnesty sale due to a jump in sales of the game. According to the game's blog, the amnesty sale helped move 17,000 copies in one week. That's pretty impressive for an indie developer.

The sale offers even deeper discounts on the game; now it will sell for $5 and will come with the soundtrack for free. The Czech developer also revealed stats indicating the percentage of orders by country, with the United States taking the lead with 39.4 percent. The UK came in second with a paltry 11.5 percent, followed by Germany with 7.2 percent, Spain at 5.5 percent and Canada at 5.3 percent.
