BioPlop – followup

Following our post about the new Bioshock game, I’ve decided not to bother with it as they’ve made the atrocious decision to use Securerom for copy protection and set the install limit to 2. This means that you can only install the game twice (even onto the same machine if you ever reformat). I’m running XP on my main home machine but I also have a few other desktops and laptops knocking around – I only ever use one at a time and I’ll no doubt upgrade one of them to vista soon since I should be getting a free copy through work’s Microsoft deal. I won’t, however, be able to install bioshock to use on whichever machine I need. The game makers have even used Valve’s Steam to deliver the game which would allow me to install it on multiple machines but only run it on one at once (which is perfect) but then they’ve ruined this by using the cruddy Securerom protection as well! That’s one more sale lost to the developers.
