Please don't buy the PC version of Bioshock

This is crazy. Once you install Bioshock, the Securom copy protection (owned by Sony) is on your computer forever. Even if you uninstall the game, it stays there. Forever. Its almost impossible to get rid of unless you reformat your HD's. Its like rootkit all over again. You also can't install Bioshcock on more than two computers at the same time.

Heres a notice to 2k: Copy protection doesn't work. It never has and never will. Within a few weeks, the game will be cracked.

PC gamers need to stand up and let publishers know they wont put up with these Draconian restrictions.

Proof or no cookie ...

Then again I guess lemmings are starving for great games,... I mean really great games ... not clinging onto Rainbow-Downgrade Vegas and Gears of War.

what about the demo, I have that installed. Am I cursed?!renger6002

Nope, if it didnt prompt you for online registration (forced) then your fine ... seeing as I didnt have to with Demo installation, Im doubting you did either ;)

Who cares? Just don't priate software. Is that really hard not to do?

It is a necessary evil in todays world. So many people rip off respectable companies, then complain when they can't do it anymore. I find it sick.

Your saying we should boycott a product asking for it to be made eaiser to steal. I do believe your logic is flawed.
