I'm a massive fan of the System Shock games and I've been looking forward to BioShock ever since I heard about it, but having read about these ridiculous restrictions I will not be buying it ever. Which is really disappointing, because it looks great.
I just can't believe that someone actually signed off on this - heard the proposal, thought about it, and decided yes, let's make life as difficult as possible for our paying customers as well as making their game useless a few years down the line, even though we know full well that the copy protection will be cracked in a matter of days. How can it be considered good business to make the pirated version of your product more appealing than the official version?

Another one that won't be buying it
