I bought my wife a copy of Zuma’s Revenge for Christmas this year, and so far she’s loved the game. I like Zuma as well. Before we had Zuma 2, we’d been taking turns playing the original Zuma on our Playstation 3, each on our own profiles. At some point, I’d love to try out Zuma 2. But this line of thought got me wondering about the legality of installing this legally-purchased game on my own machine. I know that with a game like the upcoming Hunted: The Demon’s Forge, separate CD keys or the like will keep us from buying one copy and playing together on two computers – that’s how it was with Neverwinter Nights when we played that game together back in the day – we had to buy two copies. But what about Zuma? Is it legal for us to both play the game separately on two different machines? If not, how about if she finishes with the game and uninstalls, and then I play. What if she’s forgotten to uninstall, but isn’t playing anymore? How about if I play the game on her PC? It’s similar to the RIAA arguments about copying your music to multiple devices. In the words of Neil Gaiman, “It’s People Lending Books.”
