hey there,
i've decided the easiest way to deal with this is to send you a free copy of the game for PC, that way, you won't have to bounce around for tech support ever again.
can you send me your full name and address and i'll overnight it to you!
Got a response after posting on the 2K forums about it. Hopefully the DVD version works. However, its still not what I wanted... I wanted the steam version specifically for the convenience. Still not going to buy 2K in the future, unless I hear of dramatic improvements in their support :/
