Yes.
I'm pretty sure talking about pirating software will get you banned here.
THERE IS NO ROOTKIT!! It's been explained by 2K and many others that this game DOES NOT have a rootkit. People throw that word around like they know what they're talking about.
I still don't get what people are mad about. When you buy Office or Windows guess how many activations you get? 1!! Just one. Then when you want to reinstall guess who you have to call? MS!! And guess what you have to do? Enter a 25-digit product key, listen to them tell you they can't activate it and transfer you to a rep, then they read you a 40-character key back - usually a 8 minute process. People don't get all up in arms about that, do they?
there is a diffrence between a game and OS. I am sure you can even understand that?
there is no reason that i can't install the game on my machine and my 2 kids if i want. I should not have to buy it 3 times. I shouldnt have to jump through hoops etc to play.
and yes people complaine about MS actavation all the time.
Ok then forget Windows, how about Office? When you buy it, you're buying 1 license for 1 computer. Sure it works for as many users as you want, but you could also say Bioshock works for up to 5 users on that system. You can't install Office on more than one computer and I've never heard complaints about that, people just accept it.
As a matter of fact, you can install Bioshock on up to 5 systems at once. It's just that once you hit 5 you have to call 2K to release some of your installations.
actually people have tried to get more then the limited installs (when it was 2) and bioshock refused. they even had to send in pictures of the CD and case (look to pcgamer.com they one of the editors had the problem).
oh and again office is something diffrent THEN A FUCKING GAME. not to mention the last version of office let me put it on 3 machines.
