reholli I have to comment a little more about this.Some of the moderators and regular supporters of 2K in this forum express such rabid, extreme points of view in their attempts to remain loyal to 2K that they abandon any attempt to apply reason and logic to the discussions.Even when legitimate issues are raised, the attempt is always made to defend an untenable position and divert the point being made away from the actual issue to something different.Only the official spokespeople from 2K seem at times to be able to reply reasonably on the issues, e.g. 2K Elizabeth's following statement:Link: http://forums.2kgames.com/forums/sho...&postcount=120 Check the reference to being able to install and play simultaneously on 2 different systems.I like this game, have nothing against 2K, have only minor issues in the overall scheme of things with respect to the game's activation and installation issues, but I'm rapidly becoming fed-up with the knee-jerk responses of so many.You must all be proud of the lost ability to use your minds....Today 01:26 PMreholliQuote:Originally Posted by 2K Tech JT View PostThe other way to view this, is one USER has purchased the game. Not the whole family. So why should your brother play for free?Because in the home computing environment especially, software is usually oriented towards a family using a single machine. Even if you think about most productivity application software packages, multiple users don't need multiple licenses. My wife and son don't need a seperate license to run Microsoft Word under their logins on my computer, or a seperated license for Windows XP, and that's as it should be.If your brother still lives at home, a part of the immediate family, the current model usually allows him to play for free. The gaming world appears to be becoming more restrictive, however.Continue voicing opinions like yours, and it will become even more so...Today 01:16 PMsendittomeQuote:Originally Posted by 2K Tech JT View PostThe other way to view this, is one USER has purchased the game.

So why should your brother play for free?Did not think to happen so fast, but your statement is even more ridicilous.So you also have to buy 2 ore more licences of Windows, ...the same weird logic.Not bought for one machine but one user.So in case your brother wants to use your computer with his profile--> buy 2nd licence.Come on....When does it stop?You don`t want to be taken serious with statements like this, do you?Today 12:59 PMNemosQuote:Originally Posted by 2K Tech JT View PostThe other way to view this, is one USER has purchased the game.

However, if they were enforcing the EULA to the letter, only a single user on one machine could use the game.Be happy!Today 11:52 AMsendittome Different user on same machine needing activation,.. what more ridicilous things does this avtivation crap hide? - More to come?Guys, this goes far beyond any meaningful copyprotection.Today 10:16 AM2K Tech Richard Yes, activations are done per user on a machine.However you do have a full 5 activations and can request more if you need to at any time.Yesterday 10:00 PMNemesisDesignz I installed Bioshock on my laptop under one admin user, Everything works fine, but I then tried to switch users on my computer and whenever I launch Bioshock it is asking me to enter my serial again for the game.... IS THIS GONNA CHARGE ME TWO OF MY 5 Activations???? IF SO THAT IS GAY.... I need to know this ASAP before I attempt to play this on my pc under the other user... THis is a bug if the case be....so get yo stuff fixed!
