Converted
My entire life I've been completely anti-piracy. I like collecting games, and keeping them in mint conditoin. I'm a programmer, I like to support the hard work people put in to good games. Bioshock was no exception, I got the collectors edition.
Had I known about these "restrictions" beforehand though, I would have downloaded the warez version.
If this is the way things are going, I will stop supporting software companies and start downloading games from now on. Simply because, they have no right whatsoever to dictate how many times I install the game on my own PC. I can understand from a legal standpoint the lmitation of "x machines" but to limit how many times I can put it on my own PC is.. well it's just beyond words.
I build and rebuild my machine all the time. This is pathetic. They may as well promote piracy because that's what they're doing in effect.
"Do I get the official version for 40 quid which I can only install x times, or do I download it for nothing 2 days later and skip the CD key checks and install it as many times as I damn well please". hmm. Toughie.
