The Strangest Anti-Piracy in Games – Diamondbolt

You wouldn’t download a car.

CORRECTIONS: (thanks to comments!)
– Earthbound’s anti piracy doesn’t make the enemies stronger, it just heavily increases their spawn in rate to reduce the performance of the game.
– Batman: Arkham Asylum only disables gliding, but at one point in the game has a random grapple point that sends you outside the map if you lock onto it.
