2K is breaking their own license agreement

[BioshockClassAction]

The end user license agreement says I have a license to run BioShock on 1 PC of my choosing at a time.

They are violating their own EUL by not letting it run by not letting it install more than 2 times.

It doesn't matter if I install it one time or a hundred times, on one PC or 100 PC's that I own. I can only run one copy of BioShock at a time (which is fine and what the EUL says).

If you uninstall and reinstall more than 2 times ON THE SAME PC it also doesnt' work. Don't let them tell you otherwise. Either they are knowingly telling you a falsehood, or they didn't bother to try it themselves and see it doesn't work.

2K support is also not supporting the product, further violating the EUL. They said there is a 90 day warranty on the product. 2K support just fob you off to Securerom support. Securerom support is only slightly more helpful here is their stock answer:

"We're working with the software publisher, 2K Games, on a strategy to deal with this issue"

At least they are willing to admit there is an issue which is a whole lot more forthcoming than 2K Games.

You obviously don't read any posts around here. This issue was clarified a day ago and fixed. Once you install, you give a token to SecuRom. Once you uninstall properly, you get that token back and THEN you can reinstall on another system or the same system.

unfortunately that doesn't work

And what happens if you have a virus and have to uninstall through non conventional means? I.e, forced format, etc? What then?

I've followed up on the circular email with securom and we are working on this issue. I agree, it sucks, and we need to get that sorted.

I've been told by 2k that we will.

Thank you Ken. I sent a FR to your GT over XBL, but you still haven't accepted. =(

Who doesn't read posts? Apparently that does not work. 2 installs and you're done - uninstall or not.

Thanks for a response. Just remember, the best thing you can do is get rid of securom all together. I mean....the game was already cracked last night...so you are sorta paying a company money to protect your game from the legitimate players (us) now versus the pirates.

Kind of ironic if you ask me.

I do hope you didn't sign a contract with the securom goons. Because the services you are paying them to protect your game was rendered useless as of 11:30 CST last night. I mean, was it worth it? Worth upsetting thousands of people just to keep you game hack free for 42 hours?

To all of those who've been calling me a ☺☺☺☺ head for the last few days, I believe a told you so is in order?

Geez kids, why wouldn't they try to fix this? Ken obviously has pasion for his 'baby'. I don't think he'll let it go down the crappy just like that.

Does not work? I've tried and tested this out because I was curious and it worked for me. Thank you very much.
