A recent RTS/zombie apocalypse City Builder where, in the prated version, you proudly work for hours building your first impenetrable fortress against he outside hordes only to have those hordes magically spawn inside your cool, steampunk fortress and promptly wipe you out. one of the Batman games where you leap off a high-rise with the intention of soaring over Gotham's beautiful nighttime vistas with your capeshit but instead plummet, futility flapping downward unto death. Other classic, evil anti-piracy measures include (or so I'm told): ![]() ![]() It was such a profound WTF moment for me that rather than being angry with the developers I laughed out loud and enjoyed the joke on me and went on to BUY the game when it was on a Steam sale. I'm ashamed to admit that I first pirated the the game a few years ago, started to really enjoy myself, then right in the middle of an important firefight, I permanently transmogrified into a small flapping bird. ![]() My only real personal experience with this was Arma 2. They're just protecting their IP and having some fun while doing it. First off, let me say that I love clever game developers that program anti-piracy measures into their games that are designed to fuck your shit up after you started the game and already invested a fair bit of your time into it.
