One of my favourite things to write about on this website are the creative ways developers have learned to fuck with people pirating their video games<\/span>, so it\u2019s with great pleasure I get to share another example today.<\/p>\n

Ross Symons, the CEO of Big Ant Studios, has been talking on Twitter today about some of the measures his company have used to deal with pirates, which are far more creative then just denying them access to the game.<\/p>\n

Speaking specifically about sports game Cricket 22<\/em>, the studios\u2019 latest release, he says Big Ant just turned on their own idea of piracy protection for the game, which involves making the whole screen flash white between matches. Like these kind of anti-piracy measures often do, it\u2019s drawn a lot of oblivious pirates to the game\u2019s support forums, asking for help in fixing their problem:<\/p>\n
