No more unauthorized leaks of game premium content!
Introducing a case of blocking screen capture and recording with LISS
When playing a game, premium content such as paid stories, limited illustrations, and strategy information that can only be viewed after payment often appears. From the developer's perspective, such high-quality content is a key element that creates the game's revenue model and brand value.
These days, premium content provided through mobile apps is becoming more diverse and sophisticated. In particular, in game apps, there are many contents that are used as elements to induce users to pay, such as paid stories, high-quality illustrations, and high-quality strategy information. However, cases of unauthorized leaks of such content through screen capture or screen recording are constantly occurring, and developers are increasingly concerned about security.
Today, we will introduce an actual application case of 'mobile app security service LISS' that solved these concerns. This is a case where illegal leaks of premium content were effectively blocked through LISS's screen capture and screen recording blocking functions.
Unauthorized capture and video leak of paid content
The method of leaking paid content is simpler than you think.
All you have to do is save the game screen with the smartphone's basic capture function or record the screen using an external app, and share it on SNS, communities, video platforms, etc.
The problem starts here.
• Paid story leak: Content can be viewed without paying → Damage to revenue structure
• Illustration leak: Loss of rarity → Reduced incentive for users to pay
• Strategic information leak: Collapse of competition structure → Damage to game balance
• Risk of design theft: Copyright infringement by a third party using captured images or videos
In other words, a simple screenshot or video can destroy the game ecosystem.
LISS's screen capture/recording prevention function
'LISS' is a powerful app security service developed by Lockin Company, a mobile application security specialist. It blocks security threats to various apps including games in real time and provides various functions to prevent unauthorized content leaks.
Among them, the following two features are particularly noteworthy:
1) Screen capture blocking
• Disable basic capture functions (Fn+Power, 3-finger capture, etc.)
• Block external capture apps (e.g. Screenshot Easy, AZ Screen Recorder, etc.)
• Automatically black screen when sensitive content is exposed
2) Screen recording prevention
• Automatically terminate or blackout the app when screen recording is detected
• Detect Google Play game recording, Discord overlay, and streaming tools
• Provide warning messages when users and hackers attempt to record screens
These features are more practical in that they can be set in detail to apply only to sensitive content areas within the game client.
Real-world application case: Introduction of LISS to protect paid content
A famous domestic RPG game developer recently experienced an incident where the paid story and advanced illustrations of its game were leaked in large quantities through a video platform. Some users were consuming the content thinking, “I can just watch the video without paying,” which directly led to a decrease in sales.
Accordingly, the developer introduced LISS and took the following measures:
• Screen capture/recording prevention settings for the story playback section and illustration viewer functions
• Automatic forced termination function applied when screen recorder is detected
As a result, the number of leaks decreased sharply, and the community also experienced real security effects with responses such as "Capture is not working" and "Video recording is blocked?"
Isn't it inconvenient for users?
Some users responded by saying, "Why can't I capture the screen?" and "I tried to share it, but it doesn't work." However, this inconvenience is within the acceptable range as it is a device to protect the value of game content and provide the same experience to all users.
About a month after applying the security feature:
• The number of leaked images and videos uploaded in major communities decreased by more than 90%
• Improved awareness through user feedback: "Content protection feels more thorough", "I trust the game"
• Internally, we gained confidence based on security in content marketing strategies and paid product composition
As a result, applying the security feature was more than just 'blocking'. It has become an important means of protecting the value of premium content and increasing brand reliability.
Above all, since the capture/recording blocking function is applied only to paid content sections, it has little effect on general play.
Rather, it provides a sense of trust and satisfaction that "only those who have paid properly can enjoy the content."
Paid content in games is not just graphics or videos. It is the fruit of the efforts and creations of numerous developers, and a promise to users. Protecting such content from unauthorized leaks becomes more complete when technical protection measures are combined with legal protection.
The value of mobile content can be properly protected when security is supported. In particular, app services that aim to monetize premium content require even more thorough preparation.
