Most Crazy, Creative And Insane Piracy Punishments In Video Games

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

Insomniac games knew how to deal with piracy.  Since their games have been quite popular, their anti piracy methods seemed to have evolved. However Spyro the Dragon had a rather unique touch to it. In Spyro Year of the Dragon, the developers employed a rather insane amount of piracy traps.

For example, when one piracy protection was discovered and removed by pirates, that would trigger another, hidden layer to integrate itself. The traps were creative, and ranged anywhere from changing the in-game language settings, to removing very crucial items that players need to progress.
