It's a pity such a great game has such a convoluted copy protection scheme. It's stuff like this that encourages piracy, not discourages it. The pirated versions already allow you to play it without having to use the SucuROM bullshit.
I bought it for the 360, so this doesn't effect me. However, it is disappointing that the people who actually buy the game are the ones being treated like pirates.

Couldn't agree more with all of this.

According to the FAQ on the 2K web site:
How does activation and security measures differ between steam, IGN, and retail copies of this game?
They all use the same product activation method. In addition to the product activation, retail copies also have a disc check and Steam uses their own security.
That would seem to imply that the Steam version contains the activation only, and lacks SecuROM as it has its own security.
