Generally, this will include embedding an encrypted product key somewhere in the software. The upgraded version of this is service accounts and server hosted games. Microsoft, Blizzard, Steam, etc. Makes piracy way more difficult since you are authenticating a user account along with a coded product key.
When a box is opened, pressure is placed on the cardboard where the flaps meet the back and sides. That pressure damages the ink on the box, resulting in a thin line of color break along the base of the flaps. A color break is strong evidence that the game has been opened and used, and is no longer considered authentically sealed.

These tiny cartridges thankfully have a few dead giveaways that should help you tell the difference between an official cart and a fake one. On the bottom of the label you can find a string of letters and numbers starting with NTR, (which stands for Nitro, the DS’s original codename) followed by a four-character product number, then the region the ...

Every GBA cartridge features the game’s unique logo, maybe a picture of a character. then the standard Nintendo logo, their Seal of Quality, the appropriate rating symbol, and a product number.

If you got the key through a third-party seller, you have the option to check whether or not you received it for free, because all Steam sees is that you used a key to activate the product, not how you got it. So I feel like a lot of people just check that box because they can, even if they didn't receive it for free. 2.
That’s what Google did. You’ll still have to check to make sure someone else didn’t make it up first. Combining words can help, Balloony, Ballunacy, Ballunatic Attack, etc. The easiest way to avoid copyright issues it to make your own art from scratch. Or Google copyright free, public domain, free art, royalty-free etcetera.
