8 Video Games That Accidentally Included Things You Weren't Supposed To See
1. A Security-Free Copy Of The Game (Doom Eternal)
Bethesda is sort of like the Mr. Bean of the video game world. They're likeable, and it seems like they mean well - but at the same time, they have a really annoying tendency to act like bumbling idiots.
Remember when Skyrim was completely and utterly broken on PS3? Or the developer room in Fallout 4, that let players access unreleased items? Or the unbridled fiasco that was the launch of Fallout 76, which resulted in the studio leaking the personal information of its customers?
Well, in 2020, bumbling Bethesda reared its head once again, with the launch of Doom Eternal containing yet another embarrassing moment for the iconic publisher.
Digital rights management - DRM for short - has been a controversial topic in gaming these last few years, but from the developer/publisher's point of view, it's a security measure that allows them to discourage piracy. Fair enough, right?
But wait, what's this? Bethesda accidentally left a DRM-free version of Doom Eternal sitting there in the game's files, and it isn't that difficult to access, even if you aren't tech-savvy?
Oh, Bethesda. What are you like, eh?
In simple terms, this DRM-free version was like a cracked piece of software, allowing pirates to easily distribute the game all over the web. Which they did. Obviously.
