#I LOST MY BIOSHOCK 2 SERIAL KEY INSTALL#
Is there really a need to install it on every computer you come in contact with? Considering this game has no Multiplayer component I don't see how limiting in this manner is bothersome, at least they are allowing you 2 and not just 1, that way you can use it on both a laptop and desktop.

But if it is limiting you to 2 "active" installs, I don't see a problem. Limiting to 2 installs total is not right (those who have the hardware to max this game out are probably overly familiar with re-installing windows), if thats the case they will have many irate customers to answer to. If it did not consume system resources and mess with other programs it wouldnt be a problem. I do however very much dislike copy-protection methods like Starforce. I don't have a problem with a game forcing me to register, and I don't mind systems like Id did on Q4, validating your code every time you launch the game. Maybe others would not draw the line quite yet? I think it is time now to be very concerned. I believe I am the one who is looking past my nose. Although Bioshock only has mandatory online registration, other even more malicious examples of what the industry will put us through are already showing their faces, such as starforce. I believe I shouldn't have to pay more money and experience potentially limitless aggravation to use what I payed for.

If I sell it or distribute it, I should expect to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. I bought Xp, I should be able to do what I want with it for my own personal use. We are the audience, we are spending the money.Īs an example, I don't like spending 400 dollars on two copies of xp for my home gaming machine and my personal laptop. What we should be considering is how much aggravation should we, the honest consumer, have to go through to accomodate them? After all, the product is for us.

The point isn't that we should be all up in arms because a software maker/distributer tries to take steps to ensure their intellectual work isn't pirated. And if someone wants to start a petition to change that policy, then by all means, I'll support it.Īha! Irocem is now seeing the light. If I habe problems with just one of my machines and need to unistall and reinstall mutliple times, I should be able to. If I buy the game, I should be allowed to install it on all three of my computers, but I can't. That said, I 100 percent agree with you about the install limit for BioShock. If people have an issue with registering a PC game online, then I humbly suggest looking at consoles instead of PC games. It comes with the territory, sadly, because we live in a time where software piracy is pretty common. To me, it doesn't bother me (even though it did take me a while to activate BioShock for whatever reason). I'll chime in here: I don't have any problem whatsoever registering a game online, even if it is a single player game. Someone really needs to change the course of how we are beginning to be treated as a consumer. I remember Half-Life 2 was excellent, but Steam was such an aggrivation that to this day, I still cannot think about it without my blood pressure rising about how many problems steam created for me. Please understand, I am not arguing the game is bad. IT IS NOT F*ING NECESSARY FOR US TO REGISTER ONLINE.Īre you people going to continue to allow your self to be exploited and insist on acting like gerbils? If we lose our hardrive due to a virus or something like that, we have to buy the game again.

If we upgrade our motherboard or hardrive, we have to buy the game again. If we continue to tell game Distributors that this behavior is okay, can you even imagine how bad we are going to be exploited in the future? I mean for god's sake, we BOUGHT the game, but we don't own it. Every one of us that bought this game should return it immediately, and post on forums that this game should be avoided at all costs.

I even hear that you are only allowed 2 activations, and they shut off your serial number, and you have to buy another copy. But what I am concerned about is that no one has a problem with this, on principle.

It really isn't a big problem for me, as I have internet access, and the patch wasn't too big. Am I the only one one who is angered beyond words that bioshock requires you to register the game online? Why would a single player *only* game require internet access on your video game machine?
