He assumes a lot about why Vampire Smile's not on PC yet, and he could have cleared up a lot of those assumptions by just emailing me. But I'm bewildered by the cracker's attempt to justify the morality of it. "I'm not mad about the crack itself in fact, I'm actually pretty impressed. "I'm flattered that there's this much interest in Vampire Smile on PC," Silva told Indie Statik. James Silva, co-founder of Ska Software, told Indie Statik that his reaction to the news is a mixture of flattery and bewilderment.
