Ubisoft Taunts Software pirates with missing FOV control in Far Cry 4
Ubisoft is taking a smear out of software pirates by disabling FOV control on illegal downloaded versions of Far Cry 4. A good number of players are complaining online about the lack of field of view control, it turns out Ubisoft disabled this feature via a day-one patch to troll pirates. Well, good on them, if you play the game then just buy it.
Developers have trolled pirates with game-crippling devices in the past. Most recently, The Sims 4 put an ever-growing pixelated blur on the screen of pirated copies. Other examples include the notorious immortal pink scorpion of Serious Sam: BFE, and Game Dev Tycoon, in which pirates have their virtual games virtually pirated until their studio goes out of business.

Lot of ad hominems and personal digs in that post there, Pheyd, and precious little attempt to counter what I actually wrote. Indeed, quite a few failures to understand it are shown!
Well, I do not really care what you may or may not think about my rationality.
You were the one that accused others of an "irrational mob mentality". I just observed that several of us were making supported arguments - hardly irrational. Why and how you got that reversed, I do not know.
I am not on an insane crusade to fix everyone else's thinking. I respect your opinion, but I do not even remotely care enough to change it.
Your alleged respect for other people's opinions is called into question when you make comments about "irrational mobs" or "religious preaching". In fact, it's pretty obvious that you don't respect other opinions as you're so keen to write them off with insults. I mean even in the very same sentence that you say you respect my opinion you finish it off by implying that I'm wrong anyway.
Your long-winded responses of humiliating others and ignoring their right to make up their own mind, say all they need to about you.
And we're back to ignoring reasoned arguments that were presented and instead going straight for personal attacks. Made up one, btw. How is someone "ignoring people's right to make up their own mind?" If someone disagrees with you - especially if they give reasons why you're wrong - saying "you're not respecting my rights" isn't a counter-argument, doesn't make you right, doesn't really prove anything. It's really just another ad hominem, saying it says all you need to know about me. Seriously?
What I mean when I said irrational mob mentality, is people flaunting comments like "pirates are scum", en-masse. It's only an insult if you feel insulted. Which, by itself, reveals something about you.
That makes no sense. Someone said "pirates are scum" and this reveals something about me because an insult is not an insult if the insulted party is not insulted by it? Huh?
I have never said pirating a game sends any kind of message.
You wrote in response to points about piracy that not buying the game sends a message to the publishers. So are you now saying that not buying the game and not pirating it send a message to the publisher or are you saying that not buying the game and pirating it send the same message? Because the two are not the same. That is what I am picking up on if that wasn't clear to you. Not buying the game is not by itself sufficient to send a message that the game wasn't good enough. Not buying the game and ALSO not pirating is required. Because if you don't buy the game but pirate it instead, you have shot yourself in the foot regards any expectation of telling the publisher it isn't wanted.
So yes, I must be forgiven for ignoring your religious preaching, but I respect your right to do it. I just do not have to care. I guess I shall have to live in my blissful apathy, while you scream terror at me, trying to force me to see it exactly as you do. Agree do disagree, and all that.
Yeah, I'm not really getting the feeling of respect you claim. Throughout this discussion you have been referring to other people's opinions as... let me see... irrational mob mentality, religious preaching, screaming terror, forcing their views on other people... It's all just ways of claiming victimhood in place of actually dealing with what people say. When you actually put forward an argument I have addressed it - but most of your post is just stuff like the above.
But look at me, I have resorted to discrediting the other party. I may have just stooped to your level.
The discrediting of me - I'm not really feeling it, tbh.
What is really strange is the way you hold up apathy and not caring as a superior thing. I suppose that is convenient from your point of view.
