Garry's Mod Catches Pirates the Fun Way 365

UgLyPuNk writes "A few hours ago, Garry Newman – the creator of Garry's Mod – asked, quite innocently, whether anyone was unable to shade polygon normals. He received a few comments, mostly jokes, but a quick look at Google suggests that there are indeed a few people who are experiencing problems with their game. You can hear Newman's chuckling from here — not the normal response to a wide-spread bug report, but this is no normal bug. It seems that the developer has deliberately enabled an error in GMod, which will only affect people who have pirated the game."

    I can understand pirating a $50 game...

    Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?

    Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill Well, I suppose we would have to discuss terms, of course

    Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?

    Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!

    Churchill: Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

    Sucker!

    The REAL trick to identifying pirates is to post false claims about pirate-catching tricks and wait for pedantic pirates to correct you claiming they "had a pirated copy that worked fine."

    Busted.
