User:Screamer1234/Sandbox/Cheeselofi's Anti Piracy Screens
On April 28, 2021, cheeselofi created a series of anti-piracy screens that claimed to be inspired by anti-piracy measure videos.
The videos start with gameplay footage from a video game showcasing the Nintendo Switch's anti-piracy measures. As implied, the notice is displayed with messages such as "You Are A Thief" with Shepard's Tone audio illusion playing, as a highly contrasted image of a video game character progressively fades and zooms in on the screen. As the warning ends, a text "you're next." abruptly cuts to a screamer, accompanied by a distorted audio of YouTuber Penguinz0's phrase, "Woo Yeah Baby!" from his video "The Worst Toy Ever Made", followed by another warning, displaying a murdered video game character, and the bottom of the message informs the viewer that the save files will be wiped out of the game until the same piracy measure appears before cutting to the same screamer.
The videos
- Anti-Piracy Screen - Minecraft (2011): It starts with gameplay footage of Minecraft, but quickly encounters an anti-piracy measure, before cutting to an image of a fan art of Herobrine (taken from Cageyshick05) with a notice, as Herobrine's eyes fade and zoom in on the screen. Right as the warning finishes, an image of an Enderman with bloodied, sharp teeth (taken from a thumbnail of The Creepy Lore of the Enderman by AnxiousCynic). After the screamer, the video cuts to another warning, displaying a poorly drawn image of Steve hanging himself, until the same piracy measure appears before cutting to a distorted image of Steve, accompanied by the same scream.
- Anti-Piracy Screen - Among Us (2018):
- Anti-Piracy Screen - Splatoon 2 (2017): It begins with gameplay footage of Splatoon 2, showcasing the Nintendo Switch's anti-piracy measure. As implied, the notice will appear by displaying messages such as "You Are A Thief" with Shepard's Tone audio illusion playing, as the inking progressively zooms in on the screen. Right as the warning is about to end, a distorted, eyeless picture of Marie appears, accompanied by a loud scream. After the screamer, the video cuts to another warning, displaying a murdered inkling in squid form lying in some form of liquid.
