Piracy has always been a problem that has plagued artists, designers, producers, and copyright holders for many, many years. And that’s simply something to be expected; it’s human nature to try to get something for free if the option is available, and the chances of repercussions are minimal.

To this day, that Mother piracy prevention is still the most ingenious use of copy protection I've ever seen.

I remember years ago having to use a cardboard code wheel with Monkey Island 2 on the Amiga, had to use it with the manual to crack the code.

Even further back I remember having to use some colour code card for Jet Set Willy on the Spectrum.

Fun times.

Interesting article. At least some of those forms of DRM where oblivious to the legal gamer. Since pirates have always been able to get around DRM, it seems that the schemes used nowadays do nothing but punish the honest gamers.

I'm sure R* knows the Nintendo Switch install base and probably dont really care to port over more R* games to the Nintendo Switch tho i gotta say playing GTA4 & RDR1 on the go on the Nintendo Switch would be dope

Knightofelemia647d ago

I would buy Lollipop Chainsaw, Alice Madness Returns, Enslaved, Splatter House, Brutal Legends, Dante's Inferno, and Dead Space for sure if they were ported to the Switch.

Mobis-New-Nest647d ago

Deus Ex Human Revolution would be a great title to The Holy Grail of All Consoles aka The Nintendo Switch*. Also Haze Remastered, Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5 Remastered, Silent Hill HD Collection, Max Payne 3 Remastered, Call of Duty World At War Remastered, The Orange Box Remastered, Halo Master Chief Collection, Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 Remastered, Metal Gear Solid 4 Remastered, Afro Samurai Remastered, Demons Souls Remastered, Xmen Destiny Remastered, Jack and Daxter Collection, Def Jam Icon Remake, Folklore Remastered, Spiderman Edge of Time Remastered, Persona 5 remastered, the list goes on. (*Best Selling Console of All Time)
