When, oh, when will games developers realise that putting rottweiler DRM might get them 2% more sales than if they hadn't, the license fees for shiteware like SecuROM will probaly cost them in the end. Nor do their beancounters factor in the loss of face the company suffers; look at Ubisoft - I'm one of the many who won't buy their games ever again after getting burnt in the StarFarce fiasco. I don't care if they use it or not now, they are a stupid company for using it, and stupider for playing ostrich when loads of people discovered it's "features" (and somewhat aggressive coders!)
Bioshock was looking interesting, but not now. I would buy it on Steam, as Steam is a great system that works really, really well, because it cuts you a bit of slack - I've brought all my Steam games across about 5 rigs now, and it's installed at work as I speak (network bandwidth testing. critical!) - they realise it's a bit hard for me to play it at home when I'm at work.
2K - learn from Valve or "you are the weakest link. Goodbye" and I'm thinking the android version, here!
