I've never heard of activation limits on a store bought CD/DVD/BD. Care to name a few?

Bioshock, Mass Effect and Spore, for example.

Don't have any of those, so it's of no concern to me. Furthermore, activation limits aren't that big of a deal as I have one PC that I use for all gaming. One pc = one install.
But this conversation is kind of moot as 1C, historically, drags their A$$ when releasing KB games on physical media.

My point was that it has already been done in the past and may be done with other games in the future, which could potentially include KB:CW. In which case it would be of concern to you, no?

What I'm saying is, don't automatically assume that physical DVD copy = no activation limits.

Almost every game these days requires activation through the Internet. The real question is whether there are limitations to the number of times you can activate the game without having to contact the publisher, and if there is, does the system allow installations to be de-activated in case you want to play on a different computer.

Again, I only play on ONE computer. So activation limits are of no concern to me!
I just want a physical copy with: case, artwork, booklet, etc. My whole point of starting this thread was to (hopefully) impress upon 1c that there are gamers that enjoy having the actual media in their posession.
No big deal, if they want to drag their a$$ on a physical release...I've got Heroes 6, Diablo 3, and Dungeon Siege 3 on the immediate horizon.
