Croteam is one of many developers who have attempted to beat pirates at their own game. This September, From Software combated the leak of Dark Souls online by creating its own insanely skilled enemy and letting it loose upon those who dared to take advantage of the early release. Granted, given the nature of Dark Souls, most pirates probably just assumed it was a regular part of the experience.

Unfortunately for Croteam, there’s already a fix floating around for avoiding the anti-pirate blood-crab (or whatever the crap it is). That’s a pity too, because it means developers are eventually going to give up on using unique ways to defend themselves and go back to the standard DRM strategies that are a virtual nightmare for everyone.

Read our Serious Sam 3: BFE review to find out if it’s worth the effort, skinless alien crab or not.
