If for some reason you can't view the video, the DRM manifests itself in-game as a large, pink, armor-clad scorpion that is invincible. You know have a stolen copy because that nightmarish beast will start stalking you right from the get-go and will continue to chase you down until you are dead. It's a pretty great idea, I must say. Punish unlawful players by making your game unfairly hard. Brilliant stuff. Other developers could learn a thing or two from the guys at Croteam.

In an age where digital rights management measures are becoming more and more obtuse in the never-ending fight against piracy, it's nice to see that, occasionally, there are still those who enjoy getting creative with their DRM protocols. Case in point, Serious Sam 3: BFE. As Rock, Paper, Shotgun reported today, the game takes a more... unorthodox countermeasure against pirates by, well... see for yourself.
