Didn't we go through this alreaady with Sony?

Bioshock comes with phone-home DRM, restricts installs to only two, uninstalls don't work. (Consumerist)

Short: 2K Games' Bioshock has SecuROM DRM software, which calls home to verify your install, but if you install it more than twice, it doesn't work.  Uninstalls are reportedly not freeing up the slots, and the policy is as fluid as a firehose being sprayed into a sieve.  2K says to talk to SecuROM who says to talk to 2K -- which gets nowhere.

Oh noes!

Oh wait, they patched it already. Move along. :)
