What makes this instance of piracy prevention so great is the very irony of it all a game where pirates’ illegal efforts thwarts their in-game progress. Confused, some gamers even took to forums to voice their complaints: Unable to profit from in-game sales, pirates soon found that their game development company was slowly spiralling towards bankruptcy. Upon the completion of developing and selling a game, pirates were greeted with this message: Pirates who downloaded the illegal copy of the game could play a fully-functional game up until where the players actually sell their game.

One of the developers intentionally uploaded a cracked version of Game Dev Tycoon to torrent sites after the game was released on Steam. The developers brilliantly used the game’s unique premise to educate pirates on just how big of a repercussion piracy has on the gaming industry. Its hugely addictive title, Game Dev Tycoon, a simulation game where players take on the role of a video game developer, implemented a “feature” in the game that prevents the pirate’s self-made game from succeeding as it succumbs to piracy. Greenheart Games was even more unforgiving. This clever method rendered the game almost unplayable for pirates. In the game, pirates found that they were greeted with a shaky and wobbly camera throughout the game besides that, the game’s protagonist Niko Bellic, would stumble around in a zig-zagged manner akin to that of a drunk individual. One of the most memorable anti-piracy measures taken by game developers would have to be the infamous “drunk camera glitch” in Grand Theft Auto IV courtesy of Rockstar Games.

As a result, Alex Hutchinson, Creative Director of Ubisoft Montreal then revealed the true reason behind this “bug”: it was a deliberate omission in the game, and a Day 1 patch for original game owners fixed the issue. Said pirates took to multiple online forums and social media to voice out their woes. Just last week, Ubisoft’s latest entry of its open-world adventure Far Cry series, Far Cry 4, saw a number of pirates facing the issue of being unable to adjust their in-game FOV or field of view. PC players! If you're online complaining about the lack of FOV control … You pirated the game.
In recent years though, game developers have begun employing a new tactic to tackle the issue: by disrupting in-game progress in various – and often humourous – methods. Piracy is a huge issue in gaming, and over the years developers have lost millions of dollars in potential revenue to cracked games which are accessible to those who know where to look.
