Bioshock's Privacy Invading Copy Protection

http://www.neoseeker.com/news/story/7034/

It seems that the over-zealous SecuROM only permits the PC version of the game to be installed twice. After two installs, the game DVDs are then only fit to be used as coasters -- or perhaps, possibly Frisbees.

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.

Bioshock Widescreen Gimping: Intentional

http://www.neoseeker.com/news/story/7032/

Irrational (now 2K Games Boston and Australia) then made concessions for the 4:3 aspect ratios by increasing the vertical FOV to accommodate the increased "height" in visual real estate.

So, from the ground up, Bioshock was designed to gimp people with widescreen displays, instead of people with ye olde fashioned ones. Nice way to embrace the future there.
