Gaming new piracy protection lol? :p

[sabatino]

lol i found out a new kind of piracy protection on xbox 360 games (gears of war, classics)
see picture:

can you see it?

"do not make illegal copies of this disc"
it made me think when i wanted to put it in my KREON drive, for about 2 secs, now it's ripping

it's very effective

 

[alex]

Oh no! Now we need some hackers to solve this! Can they fix this new protection?

Man, I see that everywhere, and I'm like, who cares?

 

[coolbho3000]

That's on my copies of Age of Empire II. It's on all the old Microsoft PC game discs.

The ultimate piracy protection:

 

[Shivers]

I didn't even know you could pirate 360 games..

 

[Edgedancer]

I can see the hackers needing a couple of months to bypass this protection.

 

[gaboumafou]

Oh shi-

We're fucked. I hope Nintendo doesn't start using that type of protection too...



@sabanito: You said you still tried to copy it. What happened?

 

[Reaper]

Wait.. you buy the game and rip it? What's the point?

 

[NeSchn]

Haha, I actually talked to my brother about that. I was like "Wow, thats gunna be real effective."

 

[dilav]

Damn! Just when the lite-on got hacked.

The ultimate piracy protection:

That video was so old... anyway, its ok, we'll just copy disks instead of floppies.

 

[Kevin578]

Wait.. you buy the game and rip it? What's the point?

so you backup your game

 

[Santee]

nooooo i just got a 360 and now this

well a least they didn't put please that would take years to hack

 

[Prime]

it isn't new

 

[dilav]

it isn't new

Yea, it isn't its been on all original 360 games, all original Xbox games, and some Microsoft PC games that ive seen. Not sure why this was brought up, but w/e

 

[DjoeN]

That's not funny!

Like said, it's been for years on all MS discs (and others)
Look at your Windows XP disc (if you have an original).

 

[science]

it isn't new

Yeah, since Windows 95, and even before then. Not new in the least!

 

[Tanas]

it isn't new

No, its about 25 years late.

 

[leonheart_a]

How ironic if Microsoft would read this topic
