I was interested in the game, but not now.

I'll be downloading the rootkit-free pirated version off bittorrent. Had the company actually released a non-defective game I would have gladly put my money down for it.

DRM doesn't stop pirates from pirating software, all it does is piss off consumers so they TURN to piracy, those dumbass fucking sons of bitches.

so if there was no copyright protection at all, you honestly believe there'd be less piracy?

also kinda an update, guy here at work says he can't get the game to work, although he said his PC is admittedly barely at the minimum requirements.

Yes, as it is right now DRM is not a deterrent AT ALL. As you can see the game was up on bittorent before it was even released in retail stores. What this means is the DRM in use right now is completely uneffective therefore if they remove the DRM you won't see any increase in piracy because we're at maximum piracy levels right now.

My theory is if they removed the DRM then they would actually see a DECREASE in piracy. Let me explain, right now I'm at the stage in my life where I don't mind paying for software, games, music, etc. I have a stable job that pays a lot of money so I don't mind blowing it on entertainment. Tthe DRM in Bioshock makes the product defective, what if I want to install it on all four of my computers so I can see which one plays it best and smoothly? Oh wait... I'm limited to two versions. What if I don't want to play disc jokey and put the CD in the tray every time I play? Oh wait... I can't... I have to get a no-CD crack to do that. What I'm getting at is it's more convenient for me to get the DRM free no-cd crack pirated version off bittorrent instead of legitimately paying for their defective version. I would GLADLY drop the money on a retail version that actually worked and didn't cause a hassle for me, punish me, or automatically assume I was a criminal. Poor people are going to continue to pirate games regardless because they can't pay for them, that's why I did it in college. Now that I have a job I WANT to pay for games, but the companies are making it very hard for me, piracy is easier.
