Intentional bugs in Pirated Batman Arkham Asylum - briefly
(hx) 06:45 PM CEST - Sep,11 2009 - Post a comment / read (4)
In a post on the game's official message board a person writes about how he is having issues with the game's glide control of Batman. A response from Eidos' admin to the issue is pretty straightforward: "The problem you have encountered is a hook in the copy protection, to catch out people who try and download cracked versions of the game for free. It's not a bug in the game's code, it's a bug in your moral code."

That (and many more "intentional bugs") was fixed by a crackfix, about 6 hours after the release.

So the developer's and publisher's moral code based on which they publish a game which uses PissX and leaves pretty much half the gamers without some crappy effects which could easily have been implemented with software/cpu means, is better? Long live Reloaded and Razor!

yeah, if the industry wasn't such an overpriced-we-want-to-get-rich-on-crappy-games maybe there wouldn't be groups like razor and reloaded. everything over 15$ is to damn much for a game. I don't want to pay to programers and developers so they can drive ferraris and own private jets, yachts and stuff. I don't think 3-4 months of 2-3hrs daily real work is worth 50$ per copy. So I ain't paying that. I haven't even warezed batman arcanum because it's crap not worth my time or HDD space...
If by some miracle I ended up paying for this game, I would have gone and took a huge damp on main dev's windshield and put nails under his tires together with the copy of the game I purchased. :twisted:
