Message: [QUOTE="AnonymousCookieMonster, post: 61486, member: 3229"] The thing about anti-piracy measures is that it leaves a sour taste in your mouth. It can quickly leave you with the position of '[I]screw this, I'm never buying this game because it sucks[/I]', ensuring you won't buy it ever, instead of a potential customer later. Being unable to progress or unkillable enemies or other huge bugs just makes people think the game is broken. I'd rather have an obscure problem saying '[I]I see what you did there[/I]' that is thoughout but doesn't affect actual gameplay, like setting your in-game name and icons to something hilarious and mocking like an image of Thomas the tank engine and named '[I]BoatyMcBoatFace[/I]', or having an inventory item that's useless that you can't get rid of, like an infinite use healing potion that heals for 1 health point ([I]basically useless in battle or out of battle[/I]) per use named 'pleaze buy the full game'. Though forcing you through a custom challenging ([I]yet fair[/I]) tutorial level would be acceptable too. The game dev should show the game is SOOO fun and they get enough out of it that they feel obliged to get a copy rather than bullying them. [/QUOTE]
