Why have I got to activate again

[Rufus]

I activated this ages ago, haven't played it for a while. Why have I got to go throuigh this crap again, surely it is registered to my steam account.
Last time I did it I was given an activation code but I can't see a way to use it.
If the new game has this bull I just wont bother.

The new one has "DLM" which is apparently optional DRM. Can ignore it but you won't have access to support or online features.

Also, I do believe you enter that activation code when it gives you the prompt to activate. If you've already activated with the key, not sure how to make it come back without reinstalling.

[Rufus]

They must have my activation on record because they gave me the exact same number again, so why ask me to activate again, doesn't make sense.
It just makes me so angry, all they do is punish legal owners, the only people who don't suffer this bull are pirates. I love this series so much I've got them all on GOG, steam, and Disc mostly because this freekin activation system each time hoping that this time they wont do it and being so cheap but the best version I've got was from Humble which is genuine drm free and requires no activation. Problem is I'm not sure how to get the new update for it.
I know I'll buy the new one anyway, no matter what I say.

I deleted this game and will not buy another from the devs, this constant reactivation is just
stupid and annoying.

Yes I did edit it, nine minutes after I posted it to correct a spelling error though I have no idea why you seem to think this means something and as I said, this is my thread and anyone is welcome to post here. Even you despite the fact you seem to think you have the power of censorship. Because I believe anyone can say anything they want at any time in any place. It's called freedom of speech.

Don't mind him, he's clearly just a fanboy. And apparently too stupid to notice the timestamp on your edit predates every single comment in this thread.

But on topic: Their "Reality Pump DLM" is actually a very draconian DRM system that "activates" based on your computer's hardware and probably uses hidden files and/or registry entries too. It certainly doesn't link to your Steam account. I believe it's also limited to five activations before you have to contact their support and beg for more. Although I've seen conflicting reports on whether or not the activation limit still exists.

Great game, but seriously , the drm is oppressive.

I have a new computer since I first played this . I legally paid for the game, so why do the devs make it so difficult?

People who steal the game have it easy. . . . seems backwards.

Lol, i have never had any problems with this game activation and i reinstalled it at least 4 times on different rigs, does it make me "fanboy"? Nope, it doesnt. If i have some problems with any game - im not coming to ♥♥♥♥♥ into forums, i search for help, contact support or wait for fix. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is a bad thing to do. And you are stupid enough to not understand that. rofl

So, Is there any solution for this? I too reinstalled to play the expansion (which I never did) and I cannot pass the start screen.
I even when I enter the same codes I used before it says they are invalid, and no option to retrieve it again appears.
Also, searching on the net many posts appear saying that RealityPump does not answer mails.

So, is it some scam? or do I have to search for a crack?

After a couple of attempts I approached it as if it was my first time
(Because I couldn't get to a point where I could put in the code they had given me when I last activated)
I eventually got to where I was able to re register and guess what, they gave me the exact same reg. code again, proving that I must have been on record somewhere.
That's all I can tell you really.
Failing that try contacting steam but I suspect they will refer you to Reality Pump.
