I believe the publishers of Bioshock pulled a similar stupid move and tried to limit consumers who bought the game to just three installs after that you just were basicaly screwed. It caused such an uproar from the gaming community that as far as I know the three install limitation has been removed from that game. I have personally got to the point that I refuse to buy any game that is severely restricted through the use of lame DRM schemes. I have had several games with securom that I had to install hacked versions of the executable files becuause the stupid  securom software kept insisting my game disk was not in the drive or that I had drive emulation software on my PC which I don't. What I do have is SATA DVD drive and I am convinced thier stupid securom software was flagging my SATA DVD drive as an emulated  drive. If game publisher can't come up with better copy protection than that then they should not be using copy protection. I mean the stupid software was penalizing me, a paying customer for having the latest DVD interface! Does it get any lamer than that? And that was not just one game it was several games that were all using securom.
