About Me

Hi, I'm an old school gamer who is growing older each year, thank god I still haven't out grown gaming...right? I have retained my passion for all things gaming related.

I�m a multi console lover who plays it all! My favorite flavor is FPS but am really interested in blending of genres. I�m a sick blend of old school meets future tech whore and I like it like that!

DRM and PC BioShock!
UltraDSA \| 5:45 PM on 08.23.2007	8 comments

As many of you are aware the PC version of Bioshock contains DRM 3rd party crap ware that limits you to install it 2 times. You can uninstall it which doesn�t always work to maybe get one of your installs back but good luck if your system crashes or you have to reformat without uninstalling because then you will have to call up securom to explain your not a pirate and you want to play your game.

There is a 400 page complaint on the 2k forums found here http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6628

DRM should be illegal, Write your congressman and let him know you don�t support it and it is a violation of your rights. If you have Bioshock on the 360 good for you you can play it in any Xbox 360 as many times as you want and you can even exercise your right to resell it which you can�t do with the DRM crap PC version.

I would also like to add that 2K is in violation of there own end-user agreement and you should complain about this if your effected.

DRM is Junk and takes your rights away. Is it your property when you buy it? Not the PC version because you can�t resell it like you can any other game.

If you support DRM your Dumb and brainless, your mother didn�t love you, you work for a greedy company that just loves killing the used game market or all of those.

Ohhh yeah Fuck DRM!

Ummm, I HAVE A 360! YAY!

I try to avoid games that are laden with crap protection schemes like this. Yet I find myself torn here...

Meh. It'll be ages before I can play it anyway.

Yeah, I'm glad I chose to pick up the 360 version. My achievement whoring drove me to take it, the dual analog control almost made me regret it, reading about the DRM, crashes, and whatnot made me happy with my choice.

Take taht pc, take that. But, can you really blame them? Devs don't want to give their work away for free. Its sad that it leads to this for console users... but when you think about it, how else can they prevent pirates on computer?

UltraDSA

They never prevent pirates just hurt there paying customers, there is allready a pirate patch that defeats all security. This only hurts the guy who pays for a copy anyone who wants to play pirate can and will like always. DRM takes your rights away and is shady to the extreme.

UltraDSA

Shit! I also wanted to add I think it's wrong to require an internet connection for a single player game because you can't play it untill you activate BioVistaShock.

tehuberone

Wowza, that is like woah.

Also I wuv you!
