As reported today by Engadget, the recent small update released by Microsoft for the Xbox 360 system software actually seems to be targeted to hit the pirates.

Released without much fanfare as a small update, mostly to the start of the games direct to disk, for a total of 7 MB in size of the package, the update was a surprise side effects. Users who have pirated copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in particular, have not been able to get them to work after the update.

Downloading new games is lame anyway... Developers of certain games deserve the money, really.

I like that they didn't make a big deal about it.

Did people really not see this coming? I knew as soon as I saw their was a necessary update that it was an attempt to crack down on piracy (and I don't even pirate games). If Microsoft is going to make all of its users install an update that essentially does nothing to make our online experience more enjoyable then they obviously have some other motive. In this case it was to stop pirates.

I doubt this was part of the update, but I noticed afterward, I found a Major Nelson video about how we can delete games that we have ZERO gamerscore points for, from our played games list. How long has this been a feature? It was cool, I went in and deleted a few from my list.

when you think about it the timing is interesting, ps3 is declared at the mercy of pirates and MS discretly releases a patch more or less out of the blue ... lol Hadnt thought about it that way before And I think its quite good, want to play a game? pay for it like the rest of us

Yes it has. I would say at least 6 months if not closer to a full year.

Nope, they just ban the Xbox, so it can no longer connect to Live.

Not the greatest solution.
