You can indefinitely activate your copy of the game on the same PC. You start with three activations (so, three different PC hardware configurations) to begin with. After one month, one activation will be re-credited (up to a maximum of three available activations at any given time).

If you change your hardware out a lot or roam around on a bunch of different PC's then this could be a problem for you.

What seems to be the biggest issue of contention about the sim is that it uses Steamworks and is tethered to Steam. Many polls on the official forum asking if Steam should be removed from the game etc ;P

Being a picky eater or no is all about mindset. You are not born with food tastes. All tastes are acquired. Once you accept that, you won't be fussy.

I can see you are trying to twist this into a foxnews thing, Blue. Maybe foxnews is the only channel that lets everyone get heard?

So yesterday morning I get an email saying an account was registered at newegg to something resembling my email address (I have periods in my address, the newegg one registered without periods), and somebody from Washington ordered something. So I tell a Newegg rep that some douche made an account linked to my email (and I already HAVE a newegg account which uses my email). They say don't worry about it.

Last night before I went to bed, gmail told me my password was wrong. I put it in again... wrong password. At this point I'm pretty fucking livid. I only use my primary gmail account for reputable websites, I've never checked my mail anywhere except at MY computer, and nobody has access to my computer but me. And gmail won't let me reset the password because I don't have access to the email account from which I registered the gmail account like three years back.

What the FUCK.

On a related note, Civ V is on sale this weekend on Steam for 40% off ($30 US), for the 20th anniversary of the Civ franchise. I was waiting for a sale and am happy to see this.

Guess there goes the weekend.

I'd like to be able to sell my movie tickets when I'm done with them as well...but those fuckers always rip them in half.

The only sensible movie analogy you could make is buying a DVD at full price that you can never resell, lend, or give away. Which would rightly piss off any customer.

If you want to compare it to a movie ticket, I guess tokens at an arcade are the closest analogy.

Game sales are their first point of sale. Movie theaters and the box office are a movie's first point of sale. If you really want to compare DVD sales to the sales of games, then you would need to be in a world where movie theaters, pay-per-view, premium movie channels, package deals with networks, and the many other ways of monetizing a film before it is every packaged up on a shiny plastic disc and offered directly to customers did not exist...just as they do not exist for games.

Don't confuse the distribution method and physical media being similiar for being the exact same kind of product and needing the same kind of revenue from sales.
