I’ve finally given in to the SecuROM DRM that ships with the PC version of Bioshock.  After reading so many good things about the game, and an equal number of bad things about the DRM I had planned to boycott 2K games and resist purchasing Bioshock.

Unfortunately, I downloaded the demo version last week (complete with rookit style SecuROM) – and I have to say I was very impressed!  I decided to part with £30.00 of hard earned cash and buy the game.  Things aren’t as bad as they were; you can now install Bioshock up to 5 times on 5 different machines so this should give me plenty of wiggle room.  It’s just a shame that DRM has become so restrictive that attempts to prevent copyright infringement result in the customer being punished.
