Bioshock 2 System Requirements: Go Away SecuROM, You’re Not Welcome Here

Bioshock 2′s system requirements have been published today, and guess what? Our little friend SecuROM is hidden away, cackling to itself in a way only the most evil beings know how. Alright, there’s no limit on installations this time, but honestly I won’t be happy until SecuROM goes away for good.

By the way, you can pre-order Bioshock 2 on Steam here. It’s 10% off, and comes with a free version of Bioshock (which you can gift to a friend if you already have).

    So they actually require you be online when you install it… what the fuck?

    Mmmm… running this game on full specs. <—-when it's really good to be a PC gamer.

    Shame “full specs” doesn't mean what it used to. These days “full spec” is just “slightly better than console” instead of “mind-blowing”.

    “Ability to save game, [...] requires log-in to Games for Windows LIVE”

    Umm, what?
