2K removes BioShock install limit (but SecureROM still present)

2K Games has removed an annoying piece of its DRM restrictions in the PC version of BioShock, a game I refuse to play because of its violent content. While SecureROM and all that other DRM goodness remain, you’re no longer limited to the number of PCs you can install the game in. A victory for freedom, to be sure.
Seriously, how do you PC gamers put up with all that DRM nonsense? It seems like publishers these days ask an awful lot of you just for you to be able to wander around shooting things with FutureGuns.

Something that doesn’t get widely publicized is how SecureROM royally hates DVD drives on lots of computers. Do a google search for “Crysis DVD won’t load” or some variation of that and you will get exactly what I got last week… A $40 coaster because SecureROM refuses to load and of their encrypted games on my Sony DVD Drive.
It’s no wonder people pirate games for PC… sometimes it is their only option.

Agreed this sort of junk is just hurting the PC game market. In my head it started getting out of control when Valve released Half-Life 2 via Steam. I hated that software I just wanted the freaking game ….
