If the game detects that it is running a pirated/cracked copy, Jack Joyce will spawn wearing a pirate's eyepatch as a jab to players who pirated the game. This tactic was previously used in Alan Wake, but for the PC version of Quantum Break, it came with a glitch where the piracy detection can accidentally trigger on purchased copies of the game if the player launches it after logging out of the Windows Store. When it was reported to Remedy Entertainment on their community forum, they recommended players to either log into their Microsoft account before starting the game, or to "Reboot the game and eat a lot of vitamin C."
