Bioshock PC doesn't install a rootkit.

"2K Games recently issued at statement addressing the DRM protection and widescreen problems for the BioShock PC game. In the statement 2K reveals a change in number of activations available with each copy of BioShock. Consumers are now allowed to activate their copy of BioShock a total of five times via the SecuROM network. Problems have already surfaced on the third-party severs preventing users from activating their copy of the game.

What 2K has failed to address is the the SecuROM service installed on your computer when installing BioShock, which is also included in the demo.

*REFERENCES TO ROOTKIT HAVE BEEN REMOVED, FURTHER INVESTIGATION HAS REVEALED A MISUNDERSTANDING IN THE THE SECUROM SERVICE"

tho im still a little sore i had to pay $10 over the PC version for the same damned game, im glad with the 360 version i dont have to worry about this DRM sh!t. sounds pretty damned bogus to me that they pulled this move, id be pissed if i had the PC version, tho good to see that no rootkit gets installed. also, i'd bet hackers are going to be trying to crack the DRM even more now with the attention this issue has been getting. go haxoRz!

This kind of protection 2K put only bothers people that buy the game.
Soon anyone will be able to download and play, this protection is useless

Any word on a widescreen patch for the Xbox version?

Remember there past attempts at game based show's i do heck i still remember that teenage resident evil trash fire.

anast323d ago

Jin_Sakai325d ago

Might as well just cancel it.

just_looken323d ago

Unless its batwoman were they right it off

It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.

gold_drake325d ago

i agree on the bigger budget. all the cgi they'd need for the background.

but i think it would work better as a show. a movie would be too short to establish the story

TheNamelessOne325d ago

Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.

badkolo324d ago

its where b movies go to live, its run by democrats , dont expect anything good from netflix

Knightofelemia325d ago (Edited 325d ago )

I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
