Time to queue up the torrent for this game. Shame really, Over the =course of the last 2 years I've ended up buying BioShock 1 about 4 different times through deals and stuff.

 

@twesterm

I'm fairly sure they don't show all the license iformation on the box. Also when you BUY the game you can't return it, so they already got your money and it doesn't matter. The answer is to go to a competitor who offers a better product (i.e. pirates).

I thought by law, the manufacturer has to issue you a full refund if you disagree with the EULA.

I'm not buying if you have to use GfWL... And SecuROM? No thanks...

I wasn't going to buy anyway though. Not until it drops to reasonable price levels.

I thought that you cannot return opened PC games. Thing is you can't really read the EULA until you pop it open.

GFWL... why do people use this. If you're gonna integrate it with something, do it with Steam.

Achievements son, achievements. That's the only reason!



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Not to the store.  I'm pretty sure if you disagree with the EULA you can send it back to the publisher and they have to issue you a full refund.

Which actually kinda screws them since that means they have to pay you what YOU paid for it and that's not what they get per copy.

I could be wrong there though.

This will not go over well. They're just asking people to pirate it.

No, Steam achievements are worth nothing compared to G's! It's all about the numbers.
