Shogun 2 total war's anti piracy method is really creative!

[the_tyrant]

I believe that mocking piracy is allowed right?

I just popped in the CD, currently installing Shogun 2 now
And so i dropped into my favorite Chinese total war forum

and i saw people complaining about the new anti piracy method

There is no intrusive DRM, and the game has already been pirated many times

But from what I hear, the anti piracy approach is really creative
You can play on a pirated copy, but your in for a nasty surprise
after a few turns (enough to allow you to make some progress), this will pop up (translating back from Chinese):
"playing on a pirated copy corrupts the save files!"
And than random events mimicking save file corruption happen, increasing in severity, ruining the game
