Question related to friends

[Gamingdude295]

Hello, I bought the game at the start of the month, and I love it a lot.  I want to recommend my friends the game, but they're unsure about it as they don't know what it's like.

I want to know if giving them the previous version (254b) download link is an okay thing to do, to let them try the game. 
Am I allowed to do this, to potentially get my friends to buy it, or is it preferred that I didn't?  I understand that doing this is technically piracy, which is why I am asking if this is allowed. 

If it isn't, that's fine, I just want to check.

Cheers.

You could think of this as "piracy light" or "aggressive promotion", depending on your viewpoint. I personally think it would be fine to give out a older version to fix them with the RimWorld bug despite being horribly anti-piracy. I simply think they could not resist getting it themselves.

I would prefer having the direct order of whether it's alright or not, preferably from Tynan.  He may say he accepts it, doesn't mean he wants it to happen.  Cheers though.

Well, you're good enough to ask; I say you can just give them Alpha 1 and tell them to buy it if they end up spending a good number of hours on it. I wouldn't make this global policy but I can only assume your friends are probably as cool about this as you

This right here, is a good guy. It's a shame that more people (not just developers) aren't as open.

Solidly repping OTown.
