Remember those BioShock issues that I told you about the other day? Apparently they didn’t stop there. People were having difficulty actually uninstalling the game properly, so that negated their whole plan for allowing you to uninstall/reinstall the game whenever you wanted. 2K has again responded to this issue. Hit the jump for their response.
“Starting immediately, we will be upping the activation count to a 5 by 5 plan. We will be raising the maximum amount of computers a user can have BioShock installed on simultaneously from 2 to 5, and allowing a user to reinstall BioShock on each of those computers from 3 times to 5 times.”
Now that’s what I’m talking about. I said in my last post that they should up the limit to 5. They’ve outdone themselves and allowed the game to be installed 5 times on up to 5 different computers. Seriously, if you have to reinstall this game more than 25 times, you’ve got issues. Kudos to 2K for stepping up like this.

This is unacceptable!!! I cannot feel peace of mind at all!! And I won{t be buying this game until all this BS is fixed for good.
5×5 rule!! 25×25 rule!! Then 100 by 100 rule?
I DON’T CARE.
I wont flame because I haven’t even spent money on the game…YET….
But this whole situation keeps me from buying it and it’s too bad that this is affecting the legal customer.
Call me immoral if you wish but I’m looking foward for the pirated version soon.
What’s more immoral? Me downloading a pirated copy, DRM Securom free or a publisher putting me shady restrictions on a legal copy, with my money spent on it?
Think about it…$50
Most games are sold for 39.99, so I guess the extra $10 of the cost is just for the costs that 2k incurred for the copy protection.
I’m still willing to pay the $50, but I want the limitations, and restrictions removed for good.
I’m going to be paying for a game. Nothing more than that, I didn’t ask for a rootkit,Securom, whatever you might call it. Rootkit or Not rootkit, Securom is still an intrusive piece of software and I DON’T WANT IT IN MY MACHINE!!!
Listen I don’t want it!! And no means NO!
You guys are not going to get away by augmenting to 5×5 or 10×10.
So it’s either that, or I’ll just go pirate…
I will not be paying $50 to bend over backwards for a corporation. This is the reason why countries like the US are screwed by corporate america. We have been converted in a bunch of slaves….
We must not give these suit and tie marketing guys the chance to leverage our rights or negotiate. And this new 5×5 rule confirms me, that they are trying to negotiate, and thus their EULA is shady, they are obviously violating it…
I say, at the end of the day HACKERS ARE MUCH MORE HONEST AND DECENT!!! They don’t use obscure tactics like 2K is doing. This is a real Nemesis.
That dude has no chance against the ‘Big Daddy’, going at one with a wrench is akin to waving candy-floss at a tornado.
Hey dude… quit the Plasmids!!! are driving you crazy… lol
