Re:This sucks bad, and I won't be buying it now (Score 1)

I'll not be buying it either now. I can see why people would want to protect their software but this is a bit extreme. If I'm ever going to look at the game it'll only ever be via a rootkit free version. Maybe the hackers who might be part of the reason why this has been done, can hack it, remove it and release for upload. As you can all see, this is probably what will now happen as I have just lost interest in buying the game, let alone ever looking at a demo of it. I play a lot of games and usually do a full wipe and install of the PC each year to clear it of all unwanted crap. So any software that has a limited number of installs is of no use to me. Rootkits like those in Bioshock and the Sony fiasco just mean they get labeled by me as "don't buy" items. Even now I refuse to touch any kind of media recording made by Sony, even if it is a good album, etc. I would rather download the MP3, Avi or rar files and risk the penalties than buy a decent copy and risk vandalism of my registry. Now if you already bought Bioshock and want your money back, please look at this thread: http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t= 6615 Basically it quotes the following: * * * * * * * * * * By law and according to 2K EULA agreement you agree to the terms and conditions regarding the installation of the product. Under these set of rules, it is perfectly legal to uninstall the said product and reinstall it on another machine that is owned by the buyer of the product. Typically, one needs multiple products to install on multiple systems but one only needs one product and if he or she wished to uninstall the product, the consumer has every right to reinstall it onto another machine that is owned by him or her.....indefinetely. Securom, hinges on your rights as the buyer. Securom, in general, does not; however, the practice of allowing only two installs do hinge on the right. It is the same as buying a Ford Mustang. True, you cannot advertise your Ford Mustang on TV to make profit as you would violate their buyers contract. HOWEVER, if you fully bought that Ford Mustang, it is yours until you deem fit to get rid of it. Ford cannot limit your driving or years of ownership if fully paid by you. With your rights as a consumer both by US Consumer standards and by the very EULA contract on page 34 of Bioshock manual, 2K are in violation of their own contractual agreement with the buyer. I'm not talking about the game being crappy for you to give the game back. Im talking about the violations that has occured under securom. Now, if 2K were to altar Securom so that you still need the DVD to play but allows you to receive unlimited installs, then their contract to you will be fulfilled. But, right now, 2K is in violation of their User End Agreement. * * * * * * * * * * Very interesting I might add. I won't be buying 2K anytime soon either then.
