Have a look for yourself. Also TIL that CDP literally started up by enticing gamers away from pirated games with extra fucking treats in the "legitimate" copies, and making a ton of money off it. Modern AAA publishers must have taken notes from them lmao

    As far back as the NES at least, video games have had copy prevention in the form of the console validating a "legitimate" copy. Still, that's only 7 years before the fall of the USSR. On PCs it was much more hacky with things like entering passwords from the printed manual.

    Most commercial videotape releases had a form of copy prevention that would fuck up the signal when you try to record it onto a second tape, but it really isn't that hard to bypass, as VHS bootlegs were not uncommon at all.
