I am working on a game, currently.
It will be DRM-free.
I know what you're thinking, "How will there be an anti-piracy screen without DRM? CrossArms, have you gone insane?"
No. I am going to put in a few lines of code into a second version of the game which, upon start-up of the game, means the funny/weird/nightmare fuel anti-piracy screen will show. The first version (the legitimate one), will be sold on GOG, Steam, Desura and its official website. The second version (illegitimate one with the anti-piracy screen) will be put on download sites/piracy sites. This will discourage pirates because there is no guarantee that the illegitimate copy actually has the anti-piracy screen and actually allows you to play the game.
Have any of you got a good idea for an anti-piracy screen? I would prefer if it could either be incredibly hilarious or nightmare fuel.

"will be sold on GOG, Steam, Desura and its official website." If you had any sense of context it'd be one-dimensional it appears.
Now, y'going to answer the question or not? |

| Make everything dark to the point you can barely see and a really loud distorted scream sound effect whenever an enemy is seen. |

"nightmare fuel"
upon discovery, this will have major backlash on your reputation.
assuming that your game is even good. |

Can't do that, starfox, unless you tell me what you're trying to ask me because your question, whether it be a lack of grammar or a single word, didn't make sufficient sense for me to give an answer, but this problem has not yet been solved and probably will not be as the only answer you've given me is that the unelaborated question was straightforward which gives me no help in the slightest. |

I haven't seen good results from things like that.
On the other hand, I'm left-handed. |

"I haven't seen good results from things like that."
Given that there will be no DRM, and there will be a demo of the first mission (without anything story-related) and a big chunk of demonstration of all the mechanics, I don't see why it wouldn't work. |

Yes, I know they will, and there's nothing I can to do to stop it, but this will discourage a very small amount of people from pirating it in case it is the dummy one.
"compress and upload"
Exactly, but as previously mentioned, pirates will have no guardsmen that it works.

| Pirates are always a step ahead and wait for the developers next move so they can counter it immediately. |
