video games that sabotage the gameplay

that developers got back at pirates and
cheaters that isn’t on this list be sure
to check out our original video on the
topic number 10
this silly copy message pugsy yes you
guys remember Puggsy right okay that’s
fine we don’t either
wow this seemed to be yet another
platformer cashing in on the Mario craze
at the time but it is perhaps best known
for its snarky anti-piracy message
straight from the developers themselves
Ponzi used SRAM as an anti-piracy
measures because the game employs
passwords internal SRAM was not present
in genuine cartridges of the game
however the game does a quick SRAM check
after the completion of the fit level
the game will lock down presenting a
note from the developers in which they
tell you to stop playing a quote silly
copy and to go buy the real version of
the game
number nine ban hammer time Garry’s Mod
like a great fisherman Garry’s Mod set
the bait cast it out and waited
patiently for that juicy reward and it
worked flawlessly in order to catch
pirates an intentional error was placed
into the game which would read unable to
shade polygon normals
naturally players who received this
error message went to the forums in
order to seek out a solution the only
problem is that this message would only
be seen in illegal copies of the game
meaning anyone who asked about error on
line was automatically outed as a pirate
and their accompanying steam ID could
result in a permanent ban this error
message apparently resulted in 2,500
pirates being identified in just 15
hours number 8 an honest warning spiral
here at the dragon yeah come on let’s go
once upon a time the spiral games were
notorious for being so easily crashed
upon release to this title the
developers put their foot down and
filled the game with pirate booby-traps
at the beginning so he clearly explains
that you’re playing an illegal copy of
the game and as such you should expect
consequences if you decide to ignore
that warning the consequences you
received range from altering the game’s
language settings to removing necessary
items for story progression but perhaps
the most devilish method they employed
was sending players back to the
beginning of the game and erasing their
save file if they managed to reach the
final boss you can’t say you weren’t
warned
[Music]
number seven viruses across days not for
one second should you consider sharing
your personal habit on social media for
all to see unfortunately for those that
stole the erotic manga game cross days
in Japan that’s exactly what happens
pirates would download what looked like
the game installer from file-sharing
websites but it was actually vicious
malware that would steal personal
information from the pirates computer
after taking a brief survey once
installed the victims personal
information and a screenshot of their
desktop would be uploaded on a website
so everyone could see their erotic
fetishes this one’s definitely crossing
the line of personal privacy but then
again it certainly teaches you a lesson
number 6 a true IRA’s alt Michael
Jackson the experienced GS version who
enjoys the sound of a thousand booboo
sailors playing at once nobody that’s
who
for those who pirated the DS version of
this game they were treated to a
full-blown assault on the ears ZOA
copies could literally be unplayable and
necessary button prompts were removed
eliminating the entire concept of game
play and games licensed music was
replaced with the horrible sound of boos
Ayla’s this made it sound like you’re in
the middle of an obnoxious soccer match
being surrounded by thousands of drunk
fans instead of just you know jamming
out to Billie Jean
[Music]
number five cheater segregation Marvel
vs. Capcom 3 fate of two worlds fighting
games and rage quitting is like the yin
and yang of gaming you couldn’t think of
a more harmonious connection as this
game keeps track of win-loss records
many furious fighters for disconnecting
from the internet once a loss was
imminent fortunately for those of us who
don’t disconnect upon the slightest hint
of losing’s the developers thought of a
brilliant solution once the clear
pattern begins to emerge of a certain
player quitting the game would segregate
them from everyone else and put them on
a special server with fellow rage
quitters this would ensure that not only
would you stop ruining everyone else’s
experience but you’d probably end up
getting a good taste your own medicine
too
number four everything explodes command
& Conquer Red Alert to anyone who’s ever
played the masterpiece that is red alert
to knows there are two essential things
to the gameplay units and bases it’s
kind of hard to play without them which
is essentially what happens if you steal
this game after spending valuable and
somewhat lengthy amount of time setting
up all of your unison bases will explode
into a fiery mess within 30 seconds of
starting leaving you with nothing but
flaming craters where was all of your
hopes and dreams stood that’s not only
creatively wasted the Pirates time and
energy but provided them with a brief
period of excitement before literally
blowing up in their faces
number three permanent eyepatch Alan
Wake I was convinced they’d put me in
jail and I would never see Alice again
well we can’t think of anything that’s
more fitting for pirates
upon illegally obtaining and booting up
this game pirates literally become
pirates as the character of Alan Wake
would dawn a permanent eyepatch
throughout the duration of the story
forcing virus to acknowledge their own
thievery while playing the game calm is
snake as if the constant reminder wasn’t
enough the game will also politely ask
you to buy a real copy during the
loading screens while it’s not as
harmful or game ending as some of the
others on this list it’s certainly
pretty funny and referential so much so
that remedy would continue to traditions
in their next game quantum break
number two making out with Grandma The
Witcher two assassins of kings Violetta
CEO and co-founder of developer CD
Projekt has estimated that The Witcher 2
has been pirated over 4.5 million times
while CD Projekt RED seems to be
gaming’s gods nowadays due to their
quality titles and anti DRM stance even
they aren’t one to watch the piracy of
their game slide while their lawsuit
threatening letters to pirates upset
many no one saw any issues with the
hilarious trolling that was turning the
beautiful women of the game into old and
wrinkled Grand Mosque
rather than making love to the gorgeous
ladies at should be Geralt instead finds
himself in the same situations Jack
Torrence from the shining making out
with a somewhat undesirable older lady
instead while not as harmful as good
old-fashioned lawsuit this trick was
certainly pretty memorable
before we get in trouble with our topic
here if you wanted mentions number one

lesson one a banjo kazooie do not piss
off grunty if you do terrible terrible
things will happen to you
