I personally wouldnt touch this with a barge pole, the game itself intrigues me, but the 3 activation limit is an absolute joke as is the Mass Effect one( which ive been looking forward to since the 360 version was released and it was later announced as coming to the PC ). Ive cancelled my Mass Effect pre-order from play.com and will be getting Race Driver: Grid instead.

I went through hell with Bioshock trying to get the stupid thing working after my PC died. Eventually i just resorted to getting a pirated cracked .exe file just to run my legit copy( the irony of consumers having to rely on pirates to get their game working, when the fact that its because of pirates it isint working, lol ). How bad is that?

If i had known Bioshock would have included such draconian measures i would never have bought it, ever. 2K games eventually had to up the activation limit to 5 and provide a deactivate tool( which many couldnt get working ), they also promised to remove it via a patch once the initial sales period had passed. This hasnt happened yet and its now 7-8 months after release

Which is why i cannot support or buy ANY games with such lalalala measures that turn my fun hobby into a pain in butt. I play games to enjoy my free time and to have some fun now infuriate myself trying to get it working

Anyways im sure this will severely impact sales
