I washed my hands twice today. The third time there was no water, instead a plumber knocked on my door, he said the water company sent him to tell me that I wash MY hands too often. Now I gotta phone the water company and ask them if I may please eat my dinner with clean hands.

One thing I found about activation is that my linksys router firewall was blocking the registration service. I turned off the firewall and registered with no problem.

Software is considered a good under the Uniform Commercial Code in the US. 2K Games has no right to tell you what you can and cannot do with software after you purchase it.

and especially not if its such an unusual restriction and it was not clearly visible to everyone prior to removing the right of return (read opening)

That sucks. Ah well. Looks like I'll be popping into Game this weekend with my pre-order to get a refund. Thanks for letting me find out about this before I opened the CE, though sucks to be you. I suggest a complaint to the better business bureau and whatever other consumer protection organisations you have in the US.

Wonder how many customers cancelled their orders in the last 15 hours while we were waiting for an official response? I wonder how many are going to cancel in the indeterminate time before we get an official comment from Liz or Ken Levine or someone at 2K?

Guess they really didn't want PC retail gamers. 2 lifetime activations. I have to admit, I didn't think it was possible to top starforce for a '☺☺☺☺ you' customer experience - looks like I was wrong!

*adds 2K to the steam and sony blacklist*

Why do I even buy PC Games anymore, you continue to give us the middle finger when we actually pay, while pirates get NO limits. This is EXACTLY how my Lock-On Flaming cliffs game I bought turned out to be, I used my activation and still to this day I have not been able to play again. Ten bucks says eventually it will be the same with bioshock, they are already making excuses when asked for help.

And I don't even have a internet connection on my gaming pc (out in the middle of nowhere). So this should prove to be a bad experience. And this from a game that actually convinced me into purchacing. I havent bought a game in years, and when I finally do I have to rely on the pirates to give me a way around. I just hope they work fast. Thanks 2K for giving us a hell of a good game (haven't tried it yet tough), and one hell of a bug up the "hole".
