I'm really loving this trend, but i feel like some people miss the point of these. They add "scary" images and some text and call it a day, but the appeal from them is how realistic they look.
So, one of my favortie anti-piracy screens is actually from Freedom Planet. it gives you a message where it basically tells you that "We know that this is a pirated copy of the game, but it's okay. you can play the game is normal, but please try to support us when you can." which i think is surprisingly kind of them to do, especially since it's an indie game.
It’s a bit like Just Shapes And Beats, really. There are actually quite a lot of piracy screens that say ‘hey, you pirated the game, but if you can’t support us in money, support us in words :)’
