Russische hacker "Barabus" is er ingeslaagd om de Xbox Live Arcade titel Vampire Smile te porten naar de PC en deze online te zetten op de bekende download plekken. Hij claimt dit te hebben gedaan omdat de developers geen zin hadden om deze game uit te brengen op de PC. Ondertussen heeft James Silva ook een reactie gegeven op deze hack en ook deze kan je hier onder lezen.

"We do not steal the game for the Xbox 360, we release it for the PC port. Given that developers ignore the PC platform, about any loss of profit for them is not out of the question. After all, if they wanted to earn money, then the game would be issued on all available platforms. If the game came out on PC officially, then this thread would not exist."

"I'm flattered that there's this much interest in Vampire Smile on PC. I'm not mad about the crack itself, in fact, I'm actually pretty impressed. But I'm bewildered by the cracker's attempt to justify the morality of it. 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. I get that piracy is a service problem, but that's a consequence, not a justification."
