8 Problems That Can Happen If You Play Pirate Games

Piracy is not something new in the realm of digital objects. Practical and easy to be an excuse that many objects that do not have a physical form are “stolen” and the “stolen” results are traded. Video games are no exception. Cheap is the reason some connoisseurs of pirated games are due to the high prices of video games out there.

But, did you know that instead of making a profit, playing pirated games also gives you a lot of trouble. What’s the problem? Maybe our list can give you an idea of the extent of the problems that can occur if you are still stubborn about playing it.

Disclaimer: We do not support piracy at all because it harms many parties. In addition, it is only natural that if people sell goods/entertainment, then those who want to enjoy it have to pay a certain amount of money.

8. You Can Get Dangerous Malware

It’s silent but causes problems, that’s malware. You can trust the website, let alone download via torrent. It is very likely that your PC is infected with malicious malware. I’m not saying “sure” but “can’t”. Because malware takes various forms, from what looks the same or not. Moreover, there is a new type of malware called ransomware, just pressing the download button can be problematic, you know. Cases like the bitcoin miner malware have also happened in the past because someone downloaded a pirated version of Watch Dogs. Making the victim’s PC used for mining remotely by the perpetrator.

7. Loss of Ability to be Online

It’s no longer a secret that you can’t play pirated games online. But not only playing online, but the ability to be online can also be a threat. Especially those of you who play pirated games on the console. Microsoft with the Xbox 360 for example, which in the end banned almost one million players because they tried to modify the console so that they could play pirated games. This is already written in the rules and with the consequence that they will have the device banned too. PlayStation also does the same.

6. Can’t Play the Game If You’re Connected to the Internet (Only Console)

This only happens with consoles. If you buy a pirated console, for example a pirated PS4. Then obviously the seller will say to play it without an internet connection, either cable or wifi. This is because you will not be able to play the game if you are connected to the internet. Thanks to PlayStation it immediately detects that the game you have is not yours so they lock it.

5. Can’t Use Controller (PC Only)

Not all of them, but games pirated by pirate groups like CODEX won’t be able to connect a controller to a PC for some of the games they pirated from Steam. Some cases that I found myself on the darkside forum were the complexity of running the controller properly for their “work”. Forcing them to do something else in order to use it properly. But yeah, it’s tricky. Once again I say “not all of them” but most likely there will be.

4. Can’t Complete Mission

If you install Denuvo and the protection is still impenetrable, then the only way developers can prevent you from playing pirated games is to stop you in the game. Batman Arkham Asylum For example, the one that won’t allow Batman to use his grappling hook and even if it can be used, he’ll be thrown somewhere else. There are still many ways for developers to give this deterrent effect.

3. Don’t Get the Latest Updates

Updates are the most important part of the game, because with updates, some of the bugs that you find in version 1.0 will be fixed in version 1.1 and so on. If you decide to play pirated games, then you will not get updates which will generally make your gaming experience better.

2. You can be caught in a criminal case

The law in Indonesia itself has not focused on cases of piracy of video games and other digital objects. Yes, but it’s just like writing. If the owner doesn’t move, it won’t be implemented. This is also triggered by the people’s indifference to it. Not infrequently a lot of chatter from those who say, “People are just games” and so on. Taking things that are actually big, trivial. Remember, the game is not as trivial as one might think. Some of you just get angry when someone spreads memes with no source, says help and so on. It’s the same game, you’re piracy, it’s the same as stealing the game, stealing the copyright. If you want, the government can actually enforce the law. Because all your internet logs will be recorded in the BUMN database. So they will easily find you and ensnare the article.

1. Waste (for those of you who like to buy pirated games)

This is for those of you who have slow internet and only have money to buy pirated games. The price is often even more expensive than the original game. Just imagine if you buy a lot, it’s a waste of money. Instead of buying a DVD, the price is hundreds of thousands, but the game results in naughty results, it’s better to buy the game directly. Now there is a discount event. If you don’t have money, you can anticipate when the discount will apply. In addition, the payment media is also easy, there are also local shops that directly sell the game which is guaranteed to be original. Just transfer via ATM, credit, OVO, or others. So if you say “but you don’t have a credit card”, you just don’t want to look for it.

Those are 8 problems that can occur if you buy, play, or even download pirated games. This article is made to remind you. It’s true that not everything can really happen, but of the eight possibilities, it could happen. Either because you are careless or maybe because of other factors. So, as much as possible stay away from pirated. Be patient until the money collects. This struggle is indeed hard, even for those who already have their own income but still like to play games.
