Vai demorar agora para sair versão nova, no site oficial eles fizeram um post falando da pirataria e etc... eles querem uma forma de segurança maior para depois seguir o projeto.
Só para esclarecer, o problema não é com a pirataria em si. O problema é que os piratas tinham criado um "auto-updater" que sempre que abria o jogo, baixava do servidor deles, o que tava dando prejuízo pra eles, já que eles pagam pelo servidor.

Aqui uma parte do texto:
We’ve always turned a blind eye to pirate copies, even on occasion recommending people who had problems with the legit version try a pirate version until the issues are resolved. We realise the potential viral benefits of pirate copies, and while obviously we’d prefer people to purchase our issue is not with those.

However, these ‘auto updating’ versions of the game could screw us completely. We have a cloud based distribution model, where the files are copied all over the world and are served to players on request, which means we are charged money for people downloading the game. Whether piracy actually amounts to lost sales we’re not going to get into. The possibility that it raises awareness and promotes the game cannot be ignored, but the difference is offline versions on torrents, which we’ve been largely unconcerned about, do not cost us real money, only potential money, and even then we can’t really guess at what the net effect is. Likewise people who download the game through our website only download it when there is a new version, so once every week or so. These new pirate copies have an ‘update now’ button which will download the game every time it’s clicked, potentially every time the game is run by everyone using it.
