Harris has been, and remains, an outspoken critic of the labour practices of the principal of the games industry "triple A", particularly for its culture of long hours and lack of contact between developers and players. In August 2008, Harris wrote an entry on his blog aimed at "pirates" asking them why they used unlicensed games.[1] The response was overwhelming, resulting in thousands of posts on sites like Facebook, Slashdot and Reddit. By way of response, Harris promised to reduce the prices of their games, not to use any DRM, and take care of the concerns of the responders on the weight of the demos and quality of gaming.

As well as developing games directly, Positech has also been involved in publishing a number of third party games, such as Redshirt, Big Pharma Political Animals and Shadowhand. In addition to publishing these titles, Positech has also invested along with other parties, in indie games including Duskers and A Night in the Woods.
