Getting your sticky fingers on a pirated copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum may not land you in its titular super-powered jailhouse, but make no mistake, thieves and ne’er do wells, there will be consequences. See, one pirate – who apparently forgot to steal himself a brain -- tried to contact developer Rocksteady with a game-related query. Problem: he posed his question roughly a week before the game’s PC launch date.
“When I…jump from one platform to another, Batman tries to open his wings again and again instead of gliding,” the user wrote, detailing Batman’s repeated plunges into Arkham’s poisonous underbelly.
“The problem you have encountered is a hook in the copy protection, to catch out people who try and download cracked versions of the game for free,” replied Rocksteady’s community manager. “It’s not a bug in the game’s code, it’s a bug in your moral code.”
We’re not saying anything. We’ll just let that sink in.
