    These semaphore counters on remote services aren't all that reliable. iTunes thinks I have 3 devices configured when I've added 4, dropped 3. What happened there?
    
    I'm down with decrypting a game after I've bought it, as well as the new Impulse Goo thing, and whatnot, but having to continually rely on a remote service that itself assumes I'm trying to be a thief is... Assinine.
    
    Really, why bother having the install counter other than to frustrate legitimate users? It's not stopping piracy, just resale. Well, Steam already stops that too. So again, why have this crap thrown on the game?
    
    Feel free to pay and play it, it's wholly the buyer's perogative. But be aware that the game is crippled for /no reason/.

  why bother to have third party DRM when you already have the game tied to one steam account? : bluewagon

    It's not too different, but I ain't buying anything off of iTunes either so there we go. F*ck limits. : FIGHTheSYSTM
