Pirated games and various other pirated products are the main enemy in the entertainment industry today. Especially for pirated games, this culture can be said to be quite attached. Indonesia is no stranger to game pirates. For example, the case of the circulation of pirated PS2 cassettes, which used to be quite massive. There are also many Indonesian gamers who still like to download cracked PC games and the like.

Realizing that the game is often hijacked by hacker groups, the game developer does not remain silent. There are some developers who use unique ways to punish hackers who hijack their games. One of them is by using the Anti-Piracy feature or anti-piracy so that hijackers and hackers who hijack have to rack their brains. What are they? Check out the list below.

Here are 10 games that have anti-piracy features:

1. Batman Arkham Asylum

To protect Batman Arkham Asylum from hackers, developer Rocksteady has its own way. Batman's cloak in the pirated version will not open. Automatically players will not be able to use the movement of floating in the air. Though this movement is very necessary in the game.

2. Alan Wake 

For those who played the game Alan Wake and found the character wearing a pirate-style blindfold, you deserve to be congratulated! The reason is that the game Alan Wake is playing is definitely a pirated game.

The way that Remedy Entertainment does this is quite funny. The reason is that this punishment is practically similar to an award but with the aim of humiliating hackers. Not only in Alan Wake, Remedy Entertainment also does the same for other brand games, namely the pirated version of Quantum Break.

3. The Sims 4 

The Sims 4, a game owned by Electronic Arts (EA) has a unique system to punish hackers and people who pirate the game. The trick is to make the visuals in the game completely pixelated.

For those who don't know, if we do activities such as bathing or changing clothes in The Sims4 game, pixel visuals will definitely appear. The purpose of popping visual pixels is to cover sensitive parts of the character. When finished, the image will automatically return to normal.

However, the pixel visual in the pirated version of The Sims 4 cannot be removed. The visual pixels actually get bigger and bigger until they cover the entire screen and make the game almost unplayable.

4. Five Nights At Freedy’s

Not only for games with large funding in the class of AAA, indie games also have their own way of punishing hackers. An example is Five Nights at Freddy's. Scott Cawthon as the developer of the game Five Nights at Freddy's includes elements of horror to offend the pirates. When playing the pirated game, every time the player exits the game, various scary and unexpected jumpscares will appear.

5. Serious Sam 3

Croteam, game developer from Serious Sam has a surefire way to ward off players who pirate the game. The trick is to give an immune cheat to the enemy. If detected using a pirated game, then in the game a scorpion monster that cannot die will appear. This monster will continue to chase the player until the character dies.

6. GTA IV 

Rockstar, the creator of Grand Theft Auto (GTA) has a simple but effective way of punishing pirates who play the game without paying. In the case of GTA IV, if a player is detected as playing a pirated game then the in-game camera will wobble wildly every few minutes.

Still not enough? It doesn't stop there, the main character of GTA IV Niko will enter 'drunk' mode every time he completes a mission. Instead of being able to play the game casually, there are players who vomit every time they play GTA IV.

7. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

The next is from the series The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings which was released by CD Projekt Red in 2011. Knowing that their games often fall prey to hacker groups to be hijacked, the developer also created an Anti-Piracy feature that is quite unique. Where they replace the female character model that you will "romance" with an old female model. Not only does the romantic scene break down, but it also gives gamers nightmares who played the pirated version of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

8. Red Alert 2

In the early 2000s, EA was quite tough on game piracy, especially in its games. Therefore, when releasing Red Alert 2, EA together with Westwood Studios created an Anti-Piracy feature that would annoy gamers who played the copy or pirated version. This feature allows players who have just started playing Red Alert 2 to be "Game Over" immediately before building a colony or troop within 30 seconds.

9. Crysis Warhead

Just like Red Alert 2, EA and Crytek developers also made an Anti-Piracy feature for Crysis Warhead. As a PC game, of course, it is very prone to be hijacked so Crytek decided to give punishment for hackers and hijackers. The Anti-piracy feature in Crysis Warhead applies a system that changes the bullets in all weapons with a chicken character model that can't even kill. Even the chicken character model that is fired also makes PC performance heavier because each chicken character model has a high graphic rendering.

10. Mirror's Edge

Finally, Mirror's Edge is also a game owned by EA that implements the Anti-Piracy feature for their DRM (digital rights management) system. Where the pirated copy version of Mirror's Edge will not run properly. The Anti-Picking system feature in Mirror's Edge will cause the movement to be very slow when running, even the movement of the character in the game can't be moved at all.
