Deus Ex: The Fall Hinders Gamers on Jailbroken Devices

Reports coming in today from CVG, via Reddit, say users with a jailbroken device are unable to fire weapons in Deus Ex: The Fall. When gamers attempt to use any weapon, a message saying “We are sorry but you can’t fire on jailbroken devices”, appears on-screen.

It’s obviously a counter-measure aimed at reducing piracy, albeit a controversial one. Jailbroken devices are still able to access the App Store and legally purchase content such as the game in question. It seems with this blanket restriction, Square Enix are potentially punishing users who may have bought the game legitimately on a jailbroken device.
