Giant red scorpion drafted in to tackle piracy on the PC

Serious Sam developer Croteam has adopted an interesting approach to dealing with pirate attempting to copy their latest title.

Serious Sam 3 features a rather nasty bug that plagues any illegal copies of the game and that is a giant invincible red scorpion.

Anyone who attempts to play a pirated version will be followed by the immortal red scorpion and it will block their progress no matter what they throw at it.

This is certainly a far more interesting approach to tackling piracy that the likes of Ubisoft's notorious always-on DRM.

Thanks DSOGaming.
