Latest PC News

Lil Sis 1Bioshock 2 is officially DRM-free! Effectively, anyway: 2K games made the announcement on the Cult Of Rapture Website, stating that “There will be no SecuROM Install limits for either the retail or digital versions of Bioshock 2, and SecuROM will be used only to verify the game’s executable and check the date.”

It’s still limited by standard Games For Windows Live, though the 15 activations available can be reset with a call to Microsoft. Read more about it on the Cult Of Rapture website.

    That’s not DRM free. That’s just a different type of DRM. Let’s try to keep things correct here, shall we?

    Isn’t this still a DRM strategy? I mean it is still a form of access control imposed on the consumer. I don’t think SecuROM has any form except for it’s DRM-form. It merely being there IS a DRM strategy, therefore the game is not DRM free. And 15 activation limits by GFWL is also DRM.

    If you think BioShock 2 is DRM-free, well then I have some software to sell you. It’s “DRM-free” all it does it call my servers once to get permission to activate, and then after 15 times you will have to contact me to get permission again. But I assure you, it is DRM-free!!!

    More like “Free DRM!”

    For The Void’s sake, give ‘em a break. Are you really going to install it fifteen times before it comes to the end of its natural lifespan? Hmm? HMMM?

    @ The Relic

    I’ve installed plenty of games over 15 times, so keep your HMMMMM to yourself.
