I'm always appreciative about how fun the concept of anti-piracy is... Bc it encourages so many people to keep cracking and editing the rom until they can be playable. It really brings people together.

7:23 the funniest thing is that in addition, even on non-pirated copies, the game naturally crashes if it has run for 10 hours

Little did people know, the Mayan calendar ending wasn't a reference to the end of the world; it was a reference to the date that Banjo Tooie would finally be cracked.

Old people thinking that 1 pirated copy = 1 sale lost is still the funniest thing ever.

The way they handled anti-piracy in Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles Ring of Fates is, in my opinion, one of the best methods I've seen. Sometimes a gentle "hey this isn't cool, and we know what you did, but we appreciate you checking the game out anyway" is all you need.

Nintendo now:

"Compensation for their losses"

I always love seeing the creative ways devs react to piracy. If you're someone who had no idea it can feel like a complete fourth wall break.

I always look back to gaben's quote.

I always love when game Devs have a sense of humour, especially when it comes to pirating or cheating in games. It sucks that most triple A studios have so much oversight they can’t get away with more tongue and cheek stuff they used to

My favorite Nintendo anti-piracy measure, and I use that loosely, is EarthBound's. Seriously letting you play all the way to Giygas and then it deletes your save. What an asshole move.

That Zelda hairdo never fails to crack me up ahahah.

It never ceases to amaze me whenever I hear about the software and hardware arms race between hackers and companies when trying to crack into consoles. It's something that most normal players, like myself, never really think about when enjoying our own consoles

One thing I have always been curious about when it comes to piracy, is just how damaging it really is (or isn't). Manufacturers will always claim that all pirated copies are lost sales when stating alleged damages, when in reality I am confident that the majority of people who engage in piracy would not necessarily buy a legitimate copy were no pirated option available.

I have to be honest, the idea of a "piracy ring" is somehow hilarious to me. The word "Ring" evokes a much more serious connotation of a group which sells drugs, or weapons, or even slaves. It kind of reminds me of the way the US cracks down on illegal Kinder Egg smuggling.

I really love learning about the anti-piracy measures. It’s fun to watch the creepy pasta fakes but I’m more fascinated to learn what Nintendo actually did to protect their games.
