That is brilliant. If I ever make the RPG I want to make, I'll have it programmed so that all attacks heal the enemy if the game is pirated.
And all the characters will wear eye patches and have peg legs.
AND replace the battle music with "YOU ARE A PIRATE!"
Subtlety be damned.
NO WAIT I GOT IT. Every attack, instead of doing anything, will cause all the characters (in their pirate gear) to dance to that song in its entirety. Then the enemies get their turn to attack as normal.

Next up: illegally downloading Mass Effect 2 will cause Sheperd's assault rifles to turn into super soakers
DRM is DRM, whther "creative" or not. If it stops you playing the pirated game, it's effective, full-stop.
The thing with DRM like this would be embedding it in the game to a point where you essentially would have to rewrite the entire game to get rid of it.
that's such an awesome and funny way to deal with pirates, if they did it correctly then it would be hard for the pirates to circumvent
Hopefully this isn't the only DRM that they put in, it would be so frustrating for pirates to have to patch something like this and discover in the next level that one small but vital element was missing to complete the level, and so on...
Eventually it would get to the point where Pirates aren't sure whether the level they are on is just naturally difficult or if they need to come up with a patch. It would make them so paranoid and frustrated.
Also making it so that every other level is an escort mission with an annoying Robin, constantly screaming, "Holy eyepatch Batman, the Pirates have got me!" would be awesome

That is simply hilarious, very creative on the game devs part. I hope more and more titles begin to copyright their games like this. Also thumbs up to the fantastic "It's a bug in your moral code" response. That's just kickass.
Naah, the best one would just be freezing the game and showing a progress bar with "DELETING FILES..." above it.ChromeAlchemist said:

Hmm. I might see about getting a job in creative DRMs
Did you see the one for Crysis where all the guns fire chickens instead of bulletsCitrus Insanity said:
