spankmeister posted:-XIII had some nasty copy protection scheme which was hard to crack (TAGES, I believe) and cracked versions would work initially but have degrading playability where it would become harder and harder to move and aim and such until eventually becoming unplayable. didn't this backfire spectacularly (or a similar system in another game) because many pirates would chalk it up to the game being poorly coded or having a memory leak or something and badmouth the quality of the game itself? also wouldn't surprise me if people with legit performance issues were ignored by support due to being treated as pirates also i remember unreal 2 had the opposite problem where its early implementation of securom was such a resource hog "game optimization" articles were legit-recommending people crack the game because just doing that would double the framerate

It caused some drama at my high school when some students made some demos with it for a programming project, and passed it off as their own work.

I remembered Odyssey the other day. It was a 40 minute demo with a storyline which I thought was cool at the time, but watching it again it's atrocious Imagine a game intro from the nineties with engrish storytelling like the "war was beginning" zero wing intro, but stretching over 40mins: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6TWX2gzRz5Y

Korean Boomhauer posted:i was thinking about this at work and i feel dumb not getting the joke until now i guess the reference gets lost outside of scandinavia its a dumb swedish eurodance song from 10 years ago, about a dude who falls in love with an irc bot. also bot in swedish means boat, hence the boats in the demo and the music video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vzw1NdSZmc
