Developers Sims 4 joke of "pirates"



Employees Maxis creatively played a joke on players who have installed unlicensed copy of the game Sims 4. In this game there is a special effect of the pixel blur when the character goes to the bathroom or toilet. So, in "pirate" copies of pixelation effect разрастается the entire playing area .

Puzzled Sims 4 users complained on the official forum on "bug", but the board not received abbr>.

For game developers, this is another example of how to creatively circumvent DRM-boring scheme. Earlier, similar techniques used in other games, here некоторые Examples :

  • «Drunk" camera in GTA IV
  • Slow down before big jumps in Mirror's Edge
  • Non-slip cape of Batman in Batman: Arkham Asylum
  • < a href = "http://habrahabr.ru/post/140757/"> Pirate bandage on the eye of the protagonist in an unlicensed copy Alan Wake
  • Immortal, superfast антипиратский scorpion in Serious Sam 3
  • Freezing games and damage sav-file just before the final scene in EarthBound (and here it is not fun and not at all creative) reception in the game Game Dev Tycoon < / a>, simulator game studio. Developers specially issued "grunted" version. In it the player after the initial business development and release of the game suddenly faced with a high level of piracy, which inevitably led to the bankruptcy of a company.



    Perturbation of the players was not the limit: in fact win in such conditions proved quite impossible!
