[SOLVED] BIOSHOCK restriction?

R0gueHunt3R · 03-21-2009, 10:52 AM

My Bioshock installation recently became corrupt (the same day I registered it!).

So I'm wondering if it has a limited number of installations or any other limitations?

As long as you haven't tried to remove SecuROM or installed any cracks, there should be no problem reinstalling Bioshock. I've installed it on the same computer 3 times with no problems.

That's good because I swear DRM and other 'anti-piracy' methods are just a conspiracy to force PC gamers from the only true platform to the evil that are the n00b machines.

I'm looking at you Gears of War!

yes Gears of war had some issue about that, but they released a fix about it.
and there is no restriction in Bioshock, like a corrupt installation.
I can't count the times I installed and removed that game

A patch is useless when a game won't even install properly! Epic has betrayed us, the PC is the reason they got where they are today, now they support the evil that is n00b gaming! Personally I'm glad that GoW 2 is not coming to PC.
