BioShock Deactivation Tool

[Oct 13, 2007, 11:58 am ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Cult of Rapture now offers downloads of a tool to revoke the activation of BioShock on a PC (thanks Voodoo Extreme), addressing widespread concern over the anti-piracy scheme that allows a limited number of installs for 2K Games' waterlogged shooter (story). There is an accompanying FAQ to clear up questions about installation and activation that includes word that the game can be uninstalled and reinstalled on the same machine repeatedly without using up additional activations, that owners of the Steam version don't need this because uninstalling the game in Steam automatically deactivates it, and that the tool will not work for owners of the Direct2Drive edition.
