Get you a girl who will scour the internet looking for the absolute perfect, custom content alpha hairstyle for your simself. She is sacrificing not only her time, but the integrity of her computer for you. Some of these sims modders have zero chill when it comes to keeping their poly counts down and that game is clunky enough as it is.
@@dapperfinch that's so true. like some cc hairs will have a set of 6 colors, but the whole .package is like 60mb. for my Sims 2 i have like 15ish gb, and for Sims 4 about 12. the amount of life support my Sims 2 is on is especially alarming.
@@dnsoulx you are braver than the troops, working on that ticking time bomb, frfr. Lol, I hope a computer upgrade is in the cards for you, soldier.
@@dapperfinch thank you lol. i honestly think my pc is fairly decent still. i have a gtx 1060, i5 intel core, 16gb ram, and a 2tb hdd. but it's quickly dying out, and i'd love to upgrade my processor, get an ssd, and go up to 32gb ram. woe is the gamer, for fortune never stays
Dude....makes so much sense now why I never finished Spyro 3 as a kid. When I got the games for Christmas...they weren't in regular game cases...but like a blockbuster plastic tape case.
I specifically remember Zoe saying that to me in the first world and getting super creeped out. I was by myself no older than 10 looking around in the room I was in. Wondering how in the fuck Zoe became sentient and talked to me about illegal games
well your parents committed a crime so L
Bro what lmao
It was a weird as shit experience that I didn't understand until I was older
I bet you were ripping your hair out And if you have a sibling Asking them to pull your hair
So your parents were just pirating all the games you got as a kid??? That's rough man.
Former GameStop employee here. Physical games are very much alive and well. Tons of people buy physical games and honestly I don't see them becoming obsolete, nor gamestops either, anytime soon. Not to mention a lot of physical games come with extra things- not just manuals but some come with stuff like stickers or keychains, even codes for in-game skins/dlc/etc.
They’re also cheaper then digital I got Mario kart 7 for 12$ physically but it was like 50$ on the store

I like to have a physical copy of my games. That way no matter what could happen to my account or console I have the game. But also I just like it, disc make brain go brrrt.

@@BaBy_BLuu3 frrr
Is it weird I miss 2020?
I wholeheartedly agree😅
It's crazy how creative these developers got, not only poking fun but also in a way that they actually succeeded at anti-pirating
Except they don't succeed, I pirated Mirrors Edge and Alan Wake and didn't know about these measures until I saw this video. Pirates will crack anything that isn't multiplayer only, and even then with some games they have. The only singleplayer games I know of that haven't been cracked are both of the new cod mw games.
@@bksniperguy oh wow
@@creefcreef8622they dont really do these anymore because you can crack anything nowadays
@@bksniperguy Truth. The Spyro actually treated it as "Challenge Accepted" when they thought they succeded one hundred percent at first but then found out they didn't.
@@bksniperguy I got the gta4 drunk mode, I heard it cost rockstar quite a bit to implement. The crack came out the next day. I also had mirrors edge but I never had an issue.
Honestly a LOT of the fake ones take it too far in the scary factor. It's meant to be cynical, not nightmare-inducing
most of the fake 1s arent even scary tbh, it gets old with bleeding red eyes 💀
The Tomadachi Life one is good tho, even if it's fake. Basically like Game Dev Tycoon, they punish pirates...with pirates.

Hi Rene
People who get crazy into the sims with CC and mods are extremely talented at making people. Your girlfriend did great.
Hi I play sims but I can’t recreate real people to save my life . My normal sims don’t even look good . But I have way too much cc . My computer definitely hates me
@@KASPlaysSims There’s always mods or the library that can just give you preset characters.

The fact that the pirated version of spyro says "the adventure continues" when resetting your game is so cruel and hilarious
tuv you should definitely make podcasts about morbid topics, would love to listen to them during class
YES PLEASE BRO
If he did his podcast would probably be the only podcast if ever watched and also other ppl like morbid
@@lucirenn did you fall asleep halfway through writing this lmao what are you saying
@@aquaUI yes I did I was on drugs or smth I can’t even read what I said
Now im wondering if some of the games my parents got me as a kid were pirated somehow because I remember always encountering bugs and not being able to progress at random points in almost every game I got.
The real anti-piracy screens scared me more when it said that what the player is doing is illegal or what the developers put into the pirated versions that are disturbing. The fake ones also give me the creeps but they feel less scary and feel more like a forced way of trying it's best to scare you
The fake ones just scream "baby's first creepypasta" to me honestly.

Piracy is no party 😁😁
@@bat6353 More like Baby's first scary bedtime story
Never knew anti-piracies can have its own dark world.

@Peachy1621 is this like a joke or something you also put the commas in the wrong place 🤓
The Gary's Mod has to be the cleverest Anti Pirating I have seen.
I don’t want physical games to be eradicated. I’d be pissed if it happened. I like the look of a nice collection of physical games. That and some games, (it rarely happens nowadays but anywho) will come with a poster in the game cover. Those are my favorite posters to have. But even physical posters are kind of going out of style too. You don’t even know how stressed I get when I think about it too much😭I prefer physical over digital any day.
Me and my mate went on a streak of watching fake anti piracy videos, they were hilarious. After a night of grinding ds2 we decided to watch a couple, and it took us down a crazy UA-cam rabbit hole. I check the clock and it's bloody 6am. I will never get that night back.
You'll never get that night back but the memories of that night with your mate with stay with you.

I used to be so obsessed with watching those fake anti piracy screens, it’s so cool to see videos about this topic
SAMEE
i used to watch animal crossing ones lol
I buy physical copies of games. I'm not actually sure why since getting it online and SD cards is a lot easier but something about the physical copy appeals to me. Gamespots also sell pop figures and have an online store though so I doubt they'll go extinct that soon. Great video!!
just some extra knowledge here for snes stuff, sort of a snes nerd myself
the sram (where the game saves data) always defaults to a large size on a wild card. the game can detect that the sram is longer/shorter than usual, and trigger an anti piracy screen
dkc 2 and 3 did it, super mario all stars did it, it was just really useful.
Nah man, nothing will ever beat the feeling of getting a physical copy of a game.
I get what you're saying, but why give in to the capitalist urge of buying something just to be proud of it? Moreso a lot of the larger game companies like EA and Bethesda are incredibly scummy, and while their games may be good it can be more morally sound to just pirate their games. The only way game companies can ever stop people from pirating is by making the non-pirated experience better, which the now commonplace DRMs and Paywalls do the opposite of.
Yup
No.
Totally! Why would I spend $60 on something I can't hold?
@@not_kjb how
It’s wild, all the fan piracy screens were supposed to be unsettling when in reality the developers just trolled everybody in a funny way and prevented the game from being beatable. Thank you Tuv for showing us that surprise
Ain’t gonna lie, Tuv is taking over the world. I’m so happy for you, gangy.
Hey turv, I just wanted to compliment you on how well your channel is doing, I watched some of your old vids where you were so excited to have a few thousand subscribers but look at you now!! You are doing great, man keep up the good work❤
One of the funniest anti piracy screens that I've ever seen was in the game Michael Jackson the Experience, where the audio for every song is converted into the sound of a horn.
Please link this to me
@@ryantheminer1 links don’t typically work very well in comments, just search ‘Michael Jackson the Experience anti piracy’ and something should pop up
WAIT THATS SO FUNNY LMAO
@yoshi_21
Hooohooo💀
A vuvuzela, to be more precise.
Also this marks the rare case where pirates get a better experience than people who pay, purely because they won't have to listen to Michael Jackson.
I love how tuv can make something that isn't even that entertaining entertaining lol
@Jack Wrath Ratio
He can make a video about how people breathe and still make it funny
HOW WAS YOUR COMMENT POSTED 24MINS AGO WHEN THE VID WAS POSTED 15MINS AGO?!🙆🏾♀️
frrr
Yes it’s notable
16:18 I love collecting physical copies of new and old videogames. I just love putting them on display in my room! Loved the video as always :))
Me too
We need a part 2 of this
I love physical copies of games! Collecting them is so much fun
It's also smart to do cause while digital copies take up little to no physical space, it does give more control to the companies selling them in some cases. Hell, there's some games that, sometime after they were bought digitally, we're shut down with no way to play them.
Meanwhile physical copies are good to play till they wear out.
I’m so glad you decided to do this topic. I’ve always found anti piracy screens fascinating
Bro I love you man. Your awesome. Thanks for being genuine and real.
The amount of times he said "crackers" during thr Spyro segment had me DYING
As an avid Tuv viewer and Sims player, Ambers character creation skills are on point asf!
What I love about TUV videos is that he almost never brings the most known topics, even his top 10 videos have topics that I say "where the fuk do you find this things?"
about the shorts thing, for some reson i didnt get notified of you posting this vid, and while scrolling at youtube shorts i found a video of you talking about anti piracy in video games, that vid is what made me come here! love your vids :)
i was obsessed with anti piracy screens because i thought they looked so cool, both real and fake ones. i've always been into weird stuff like that so i'm really happy you made a video covering them :)
Honestly vinnysaurce creepiest corruptions would be great anti piracy screens especially the run one
Here's the million dollar question:
Who the hell would pirate Amoung us?
Lol I have idk why
@@CODENAMEDARKLIFEtrees are free my guy
Almost to 2 mil been here for awhile , awesome to see your channel grow so fast

I’m going to pirate this video to be against anti piracy
lol

Do it I wanna see it
URrURr
That's stealing!
God Bless. A Tuvington Upload👏
honestly it'd be really fun to see a video on the fake ones, some of them could have some really fun stories to them
Tuv:”I’m back to regular post schedule “
2 weeks later no post
If only you had known to wait a few days...
Not making fun of I swear it's all fun and games from me lol
I still buy Physical copies, the cartridges/discs look cool. Great video Tuv, the way game companies do anti piracy is funny 🤣
this is the one thing that scares me, even the real anti-piracy screens 😭
Thank you for making a video about actual piracy measures and not the memes that have been made out there.
I have to give credit and say that some of the fake anti-piracy measures for some games are made well-enough and they're interesting in their own right, but personally, it bugged the heck out of me. I find this stuff fascinating and you can imagine when I searched for it around the time they started popping up that I found the fake ones.
Really enjoyed this vid. Keep up the good work!
I didn't know sims 4 had an anti piracy feature so when I saw the thumbnail, i thought the anti piracy was that they'd make your sim look exactly like you to creep you out or something and maybe make your sim house an exact replica of your actual house
Now that I said it out loud, it sounds like a game creepypasta waiting to happen
That would be brilliant 😂😂
I very very rarely pirate games but when I do, it's usually to play it as a demo.
If I enjoy the game in the first hour or so, I'll buy it and continue playing it.
Game devs don't do demos anymore so I make a demo my own way.
Also never pirate from indie / small developers. Idc if someone is pirating from EA/other Billion dollar companies.
We had a solution to piracy back in the early-mid 1990s. Shareware games were released with a perfectly playable, _complete_ episode for FREE, including a final boss. It was a game in its own right, but if you wanted to continue the experience and finish the entire game, you'd buy the full copy at your local retailer. It was win-win. :)
As a person with a few pirated games, I haven't found anything in the games I have. Though a lot come in Chinese to make it harder to find the buttons and to change it to English, making a few people just uninstall it.
I enjoy your content so much because it really helps me with my anxiety although it‘s often about darker topics. The way you talk is so gripping yet calming. Love laying down after a long day to then see that you‘ve uploaded again. Thank you for your content. (Also that sim looks dope)
keep it up tuv! i love your context and i’ve been binging it for awhile especially since i’ve been sick. thanks bro!
this was a pretty sick vid tuv :D happy early christmas and welcome back to yt :D
Amazing video tuv! Love the new pfp too my guy!
19:26 I see what you did there.
I still buy physical versions. Something about going to get the real game just feels satisfying
Yo tuv my man good to have you back and I have a suggestion for a video in the video in the future. You should definitely look at r/dph more people need to know
Props to you for getting a video out so quickly
I already know this is going to be one of tuv’s best videos
What's the cat in your pfp?
@@kiwi6421 its from bowsers fury
ur videos usually include morbid and disturbing topics but theyre still comforting :)
ahh i missed you sm tuv! i hope youre feeling better
cant wait for more uploads man
i remember when i first found out about spyro's antipiracy i told my mom and she got upset because in that moment she realised her version of spyro that she got when she was younger was pirated 💀 rip
Another day another great video by Tuv
just love the fact that he just has these creative ideas nobody even has for content
Your videos always have interesting things that make me very excited to watch it
i absolutely love EarthBound and the anti piracy measurements on it are one of the reasons why
16:32 I still buy the physical copies, the case is like a collectible 😊
im having a terrible day and this vid is making lots better. Great video tuv, keep up the great work :D
It’s crazy to me just how many people would rather work a 9-5 rather than something they love just cause they’re afraid of failure. You’ll never get anywhere if you don’t attempt it. Keep working ! 💙💯
When I was younger and couldn't buy games on PC I used to pirate older games that my shitty laptop could handle. I remember then I was a huge avid fan of GMOD and always wanted to play it. I tried pirating GMOD and got that exact same message, I was either stupid or smart enough not to post it on a forum so I didn't get banned. Now that I have a better laptop and the access to money I bought GMOD and had a blast, I love everything about it. Moral of the story don't pirate games, the developers put in hard work to make those games and just simply pressing download on a sketchy website so you can play singleplayer on a usually multiplayer game is going to make the first time playing a game less fun. Thank you for reading my TED talk
As a gamestop employee, we’re actually going pretty good. I get to talk to a lot of people who prefer disks and im a person who dont mind either, but people like to collect disks dont doubt them
TUV, you've slowly creeped up to being my favourite UA-camr. Today is the day it's official cuz when I opened UA-cam after having such a shitty morning and afternoon and I almost screamed cuz you posted!! I'm so glad I found you! I'm so glad you're back to posting weekly!! And I'm so fricken glad you're coming out with an album!!!
love it when tuv posts
16:27 to be fair, considering the controversy around ubisoft delisting of assassin's creed liberation so that even gamers who purchased it couldn't access it, there is more likely to be a push for physical copies of games or games that don't require any internet connection to play once downloaded
thank u for putting so much efforts in ur vids for us
Its cool to see how much work Tuv actually puts in compared to other youtubers
Love your whole vibe btw
I litterally love buying physical copy’s of games. Also it’s so cool seeing a video on anti piracy I’ve loved these for the longest time it’s so interesting brother
Man I feel strange being a 17 year old who collects physical copies of games. It seems like it would be a hobby that older audiences would get involved with. But I love doing it and I really don’t want physical copies of games to go out of style
5:30 joke was actually pretty funny though
Hey tuv
I recommend doing a pt 2 of this I really enjoyed it and maybe check the my singing monsters anti piracy methods it’s very interesting and a little creepy
This stuff was WAY cool, I’d love to hear about more stuff like this.
i don't know how people come up with these "drunk" effects, but they never even come close to what your vision looks like when drunk lol. Makes me think the devs have never been drunk before
i think you should do more of these more light hearted videos, really liked it!
Never thought I'd ever see a video like this. Kudos, that was awesome and hilarious lol
18:26 it does though.
Love the channel bro you're a horror channel that uses their personality instead of just their voice and you have a crazy catalogue of videos talking bout all sorts of stuff.
Tuv: Who doesn't physical copy anymore!?
Meanwhile Me: *Looking at my DVD collection and ordering them online*
"Clearing Up the rumors'" Yeah, because NES Piracy scenes involving Mario Screaming "MAAAAAAAAMAMAMAMA!" in a constant loop is totally legit.
6:12 No Tuv they could not have just used a licence code, This was before the internet was large so they could not have a database of generated licence codes to update when one was used. And having just 1 code that never expired would mean pirates would just send out their code with pirated copies
Dial-a-pirate was a finicky paper thing that was made so it would be hard to copy with just a printer and thus make it difficult for pirates to spread with their copies. This is why you would see the "give us the Xth word online Y of the Zth page of the manual", because a full manual would be a waste of time and money photocopying. Back in those days it was about making it hard for someone to spread how to get past piracy checks when they give out their copied floppy disks of the game
My friend and I would share games and we would have to call each other for the answers to give me the 12th word on x page of the manual. If they were not home to answer the phone you were out of luck.
🤓
fair warning: this guy is addicting
I hate the surface of like people making fake screens because I'm actually really interested in anti piracy screens and the stories behind them but it's so hard to find decent videos now that aren't corny creepypastas
your sim looks great!! I see CC on it as well, does Amber play with any mods?? if so which ones have they tried or are their favorites?!!! Love the video!
Imma shoot a bootlegger - Chris Rock
GTA 4 has the best anti piracy measures. The drunken cam is annoying obviously, but they knew that people were gonna bypass those measures so they found other ways to make missions and the game more unplayable to the pirate.
Also the Fake Mario Kart Wii ones, though be fake and corny, they are really well made as they use stuff from within the game.
The FF crystal chronicles one is actually pretty genius. If they put in a 20 minute timer, hackers might think they are done because the game is running perfectly fine only to find out they have to go back to the drawing board after perhaps already publishing the incomplete version. Same applies to year of the dragon where a bit of gameplay is required first in order to find out as pirates that they aren't done yet, which delays the release of a working pirated version.
Loved this video! You’re so inspiring bro! Keep up the good work
Also yeah, that sim recreation by your girlfriend does look like you
I feel like that for batman arkham asylum you should have mentioned the famous response by a dev when someone talked about the anti piracy measure thinking it was a glitch on a gaming forum
"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."
