I wonder why they edited out the ban message

I never knew about that grand theft auto 4 thing before, that's hilarious.
The third one makes me sick in the stomach, what kind of sociopath vindictive piece of shit thought that'd be a good idea?
Yeah, let's also flood their computers with lemonparty and post their bank account details and adresses while we're at it. Companies that put obnoxious "measures" like those and delude themselves thinking piracy is that big of an issue are hated for a reason.
Though I have to admit the chicken thing was pretty hilarious, if only there were more actual games that let you do that :v:

Bought the game on steam forever ago but the drm refused to let me run it so I had to "yarr" a copy for it to work and could only get halfway through the game before I gave up.
I'm surprised they didn't mention Serious Sam 3, that invincible pink scorpion that would follow you around.

They probably took the screencap before the ban occurred.

The screenshot they used may have been taken before the ban.

The ban was 20 months ago.
GDT's DRM is clever as shit
they forgot to mention that gta iv also put every car you got in into the last level of damage (before it bursts into flames, the black smoke), and made them accelerate non stop (even after you got out of the car i think)

They probably got a picture off the internet that was taken shortly after the comment was posted. I assume now the original has more than 3 ratings to it.
jesus the presenter's delivery is so awful

But the screenshot was taken before the ban.
That image was taken from [URL="http://www.greenheartgames.com/2013/04/29/what-happens-when-pirates-play-a-game-development-simulator-and-then-go-bankrupt-because-of-piracy/"]this blog post[/URL] by the devs.
I have a legit CD copy of GTA IV and the DRM thing happened to me for no reason once :(

i wasn't even using a trainer, it bugged!
this sounds like it was on newsround after bluepeter in 1999

That line delivery on 4:37 was so bad it makes me wonder if she really was interested to voice the video at all.

you know something tells me that the average hentai visual novel developer isn't the brightest spark in the pit

getting their personal information is pretty smart
you'd have to be pretty stupid to actually FALL for that survey

very amazing
[QUOTE=Ardosos;46557357]I never knew about that grand theft auto 4 thing before, that's hilarious.[/QUOTE]
T'was some bullshit my friend. What this video failed to mention is that the game regularly checks to make sure that it isn't a pirated copy. So for instance I would be playing GTA IV and out of nowhere, sometimes 3 hours into playing it, the game would suddenly think it was a pirated copy. Even though I bought my game through It would go wrong for no apparent reason. Also the other glitch would be that as soon as you get in a car the accelerator would get stuck.

Yeah, I'd say that's one of the best ones. That and ArmA 2's where you'd always shoot the innacurate
I'm surprised they didn't mention Earthbound/Mother 2's anti-piracy measure. On pirated copies of Earthbound/Mother 2 the difficulty was FAR higher then in legit copies of the game (ex: enemy encounters were far greater then in legit copies) and if you somehow managed to get to Giygas, the game deletes all your save files and then freezes and crashes.

Even more hilarious is the fact that it could happen in legit copies.
Arma's drm would turn you into a seagull after 10 mins or so.
As much as I hate video game piracy, doesn't installing trojans and posting your personal information seem kind of illegal? Maybe Japan's laws on that are pretty lax

I wonder what gta v will have in store for pirates.
The GDT thread was fucking great. Especially when new accounts registered to ask about the piracy lose screen.

I'd probably do something like that for my game
1st level will be totally normal
2nd quite a bit harder
3rd will be WAY more HARD
4th will make the game run at 15 fps and all enemies 1 hit kill, 2x the number of enemies, no health pick ups or ammo drops
and the rest of the game will be like that until like 75% of the way where it'll instead break the games core files and save files rendering it unplayable
maybe even combine methods and have a survey at the beginning of it asking for the pirates info + collecting their info, it would send the info to the local police / a creepy NPC will follow you through the entire game
