I think the most ingenious anti-piracy trick was "Game Dev Tycoon"'s, which is after this post was made.
The pirated copy had users unable to win or pass a certain point because their games started to get pirated (in the game).
They also released the cracked game themselves to torrents, thus bypassing the troubles other games had where legite players got hit by anti-piracy issues.

- justherefortart 9y agoI typically download cracked games because I'd like to one, try them first. Second, have a copy that doesn't require some DRM/Online check, etc. I've bought probably 10-20x the games I've actually played as well. I stopped playing video games regularly in 1998, but kept buying for the next 2 decades. My rule about 10 years ago was the game had to have all DRM and be under $10. I'll finish Baldur's Gate and Thief 1 & 2 eventually!
