Its all a matter of how the process is approached. Like not releasing a game in a format that those countries can understand, region locks, etc. Make it difficult enough to work around the anti-piracy measures or at least more expensive to work around them, and the problem fades away to a small minority. A few people are researching ways to corrupt curcuity via code, sort of like a viral EMP that would fry the circuits on a motherboard. I don't understand the exact process of how it is done, but you would only imagine how much people would want to avoid such a thing frying their console or computer. |
Right. You do know of course that those measures might backfire and fry your legit client's motherboard right? Of course you do and in case you don't maybe you should think if it's worth paying millions (if not billions) for lawsuits and lawyer fees just to just to punish the few of those who are guilty. Please. Stop. You're making your fellow game developers look bad. I'm just talking about the marketing and executive departments they're the ones who stick the price tag.
And please, don't get me started on that pointless thing called region locking... *shakes head*
