Over the past few days videos by a YouTuber who goes by the name of Joey Perloni has been going viral seemly showing cryptic in game anti piracy measures in Mario Party DS. Developers inserting anti piracy messages into games but this is very interesting. Below are two videos showcasing this:
Highly likely this is fake but either way this is very cleverly done and it gets you thinking.
 
i dont think its in the style of normal anti piracy measures anyway. even if they heck around with the game anyway id imagine they just make it really irritating to play after a bit and also become unbeatable due to the final boss resetting everything or something like that i know both spyro and earthbound did something like that
either way they dont turn it into. a creepypasta
 
Not forgetting this one as well:

Literally every one of the last 5 bonuses are Death By Thwomp, and a quote that says "Bwahaha! Criminal chumps like you have no place in this party! Get out of here!"

Also, lol at the Monty Mole Boss Level description:
Title: RUN.
Rules: There is nothing you can do.
Controls: None.
 
This is a complete fabrication. I've personally played Mario Party DS on the R4, to the end (and then I bought a copy of Mario Party DS) and given how popular piracy is, it's really odd such a screen would take so many years to finally materialize. I say the way it's done looks really amateur too.
 
anti-piracy measures are rarely, if ever, this dramatic. they typically make it just a pain in the ass to play.

they rarely work too since there's always ways around them.
 
Just a heads up: Two more fake anti-piracy screens have showed up.



Once again, it's obvious that these are just fabrications. I've played the game and haven't encountered these screens at all during play-throughs.
 
Yeah those are mockups. Also, the anti-piracy measure in the indie game Just Shapes And Beats is really cool, it consists of the developer giving a speech to the player. Its cool you should watch it.
 
how did i not reply to this yet

i kinda get why everyone is trying to make all these anti piracy screens creepy and scary and all that, because like, they usually scare you when you see them as a kid, even if theyre super simple. I find this subject really interesting, and sometimes I genuinely wonder if an anti piracy measure is real or not.

to be completely honest tho, I kinda got tired of seeing them being all scary, it almost feels like people trying to make an exe game with all the jumpscares and spooooooky imagery. granted, some of them are really well made, but anti piracy screens aren't really meant to be scary. I've seen some official anti piracy measures, and some either have a boring "piracy bad" message, some permanently softlock your game, and then theres my favorite, the just shapes and beats one
I wont lie, this is genuinely wholesome. I still want people to make fanmade anti piracy screens, I really enjoy watching them, but I feel like they shouldnt stop being scary, but at least use it less.
 
There's this one game about being a game developer, and the in pirated copies, your game gets pirated too much and you can't beat it.

This anti piracy message is actually pretty clever, I must say. However, those anti-piracy fake screens that ran all over You Tube in the past month are meant to be scary since I believe their main goal is not to imitate a realistic anti-piracy screen, but rather to make creepypasta-material real. Granted, cheap jumpscares are still cheap.
 
Sometimes the simple anti-piracy measures are the most effective, take Ghostbusters (2009) as an example. If you pirate the game, it quarters the damage output from your Proton Pack and makes enemy hitboxes so utterly tiny, it's impossible to beat even the first chapter.

tl;dr flashy anti-piracy measures aren't always best
 
Yet another heads up: 3 more anti-piracy screens have been uploaded. Will this madness ever stop? I don't know for sure, but I want it to stop now. Now he's made his own OC just for use in these screens! This guy just never decides to give up and leave!

More lore: Apparently Joey faked getting captured by the police and being in jail, and these videos are indeed related to the fake anti-piracy screens.



Later, after faking being in jail, he's made a fake advertisement showing demos of MPDS being obtainable in Happy Meals. Pretty cryptic stuff if you ask me.

The finale of this series is upon us! Hallyboo is chasing Joey down for his actions, and nothing will stop him! It's time to end this fakery once and for all!
