[QUOTE="Pug-Nasty"][QUOTE="dreman999"] That works.... Pirate a game and if you don't validate, a security code starts that literally ruins your game.....Smart.dreman999
I'm sure it'll be bypassed by someone. I mean, all DRM should work, but it always gets cracked. Since this thing would be shut off by the validation or whatever, I'm sure they'll just crack a validation in.
Why just put on protection? You make it so that the player does no damage if they pirate the game put protection on that if it's cracked and so one. If the pirate fixes that, they control character loses, based on a hidden program ,it's arms and still can't attack. And if they fix that, then that, the character can't move and so on and so one. I think making the game be paralyzed if the game is pirated is a great Idea. Doing so with consoles would kill pirating over night on them.At some point, programming DRM like that overshadows the game development, and that's not gonna win anyone over.
My point is that, DRM like this is fun and funny, and it seems like devs would have a good time programming it. It won't really deter piracy, but no DRM really does, but at least they are having fun with a situation they can't really get out of.
As long as game files are stored on the user end, any DRM can and will be circumvented. The poeple who pirate aren't the people who crack games. Pirates are just broke gamers. Crackers are smart people who respond to challenge by working harder and harder until they figure it out. Basically, the more ironclad DRM seems, the harder these hackers will work to break it. They buy the game, but they crack it because they are too smart for their station in life. At least that's my theory.
