Yeah...you read that right. The makers of SS3 created a form of DRM that ONLY affects pirates...and that is a giant pink scorpion. If you have a pirated copy of the game, this invincible super fast scorpion will chase you relentlessly through the entire game and try to kill you until it succeeds. This is by far the best thing I have seen ever regarding DRM.

Serious Sam 3′s DRM is brilliantly cruel, punishing only those who pirated it. By relentlessly pursuing them with a giant invincible armoured scorpion. As revealed by Dark Side Of Gaming, only those who unlawfully duplicate the game encounter this immortal enemy, who haunts them from the opening moments. You can see it in action below.

The only problem now is, I’m quite tempted to pirate Serious Sam 3 just to see this happen.

That shit is genious! It makes the game unbareable for pirates, and if they want to play it the normal way, then they have to buy it.. Simply genious.. AND hilarious! I really think more game developers should use this kind of DRM

You know what some one will find a way to block it.

I don't think you can find a way around that, but it is simply genius, I want this in every game, super soldiers in FPS's and stuff like that wicked.

What are you talking about...? I don't understand this sentence. lol. But I do agree with you on your other point. Just like there are people smart enough to break the DRM on other games, there will be a way around this eventually.
