Bioshock-Now install as many times as you like!

[SgtFury]

They have now issued a tool that will take out the licence for Bioshock which stopped you installing it more than once.

This is good news, but just makes me think, why did they bother in the first place then? It will have cost a huge amount of money to add that "security", and then a huge amount to develop the patch to remove it (ok, maybe not huge, but someone's wages for the amount of time it took).

It annoys me quite a lot!

why does that annoy you, it was a grunt just like you who would have done it, so it is employment for such as yourself.

The decision annoys me, not the person who had to code it. Why put in useless code that annoys legitimate users, when you're just taking it out again!

I'm fine with it being taken out, it's the fact that companies don't ever learn from their mistakes, and will more than likely put this in a future game!

Perhaps they were a bit naive about the reinstall thing, thinking that people wouldn't be bothered about it, but now that they realise people ARE bothered about it they've had to rectify it.
