I don't know how these checks where displayed, but apparently (since pepole thought they were crashed) it wasn't clear enought that they "crashed" due to failed securitychecks. Not haveing the game fail on securityreasons right away is sneaky, but to me it seems like they outsmarted themselves. If you download a game and it crashes, it's a no brainer that a lot of pirates will be talking about how buggy the game is, at least if it's not obvious that it crashed for security reasons...
(Not saying piracy is right, but it IS part of the industry, wether you like it or not. The sooner the inustry realises that and start working around that instead of doing futile tries to fight it, the better for them.)
