Due to Steam’s tos updates a few months ago, isn’t take-two opening itself up to a massive lawsuit?

You literally posted the answer to your question. Here is an expansion of the details.

No idea, but I think it would be funny, so I’m all for it and hope you are right.

Hm… Ok. Thats crazy. Someone wants to create a new branch of income ot seems.
Thats a ficking shame. Now I need to reconsider my plans to buy Borderlands4.
But how will they do it? Which information is gathered from which source? Most of my accounts only hold as little informations as possible. Also my Os know nothing about me. My MS account too.
On the other hand my steam 2FA need some mobile information.

Checkout Jump Ship? It’s some weird borderlands, Star citizen, (insert other generic shooter) type game. Pretty neat, was recommended to me by a shooter fanatic friend of mine. I trust his shooting game opinion
topherclay@lemmy.world 1 month ago
oh cool, I can see that it’s similar Borderlands by the screenshots, and I can see that it’s like Star Citizen because it’s not actually released yet and they’re taking money for early access.

Unless you use Linux, your OS knows a ton about you. On top of that, with root access to your computer they can do whatever they want and if their system gets hacked you become a member of a bot farm or crypto mine.

Well I use Linux, but not on my gaming pc. I would switch to it because its all amd, but I don’t want to because it lacks the driver suite for my gpu (adrenaline) and I don’t want to install a bunch of small applications to gain a small fraction of options it offers.
It’s a pitty. Because I realy want to ditch windows since its newest iteration.

I haven't read the new TOS but if this review is correct it looks like a GDPR nightmare for them. Good luck to them explaining why they need to collect all that personal data.

The “collected data types” in that comment seems to be copy/pasted from the actual one:
www.take2games.com/privacy/en-US/
avattar@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month ago
That might be US only, where the companies have freedom to get all the customer’s data and do with it as they will.

The list where this doesn’t apply seems to basically be every country with consumer protection laws.
They obviously know this won’t fly pretty much anywhere other than the US so that’s all they’re trying to push.

Most people don’t care about privacy.

but ask those same people whether facebook should be allowed to collect and use all that data, and people will generally say ‘no’.

Do we know this is a thing in the EU?
Peter_Arbeitsloser@feddit.org 1 month ago
I just read the german version and compared them a little. (www.take2games.com/privacy/de/) Its about the same. But ist also reads fairly normal like any other privacy policy. I also think its in line with EU law. The collected data always relates to whatever TakeTwo service you use and whatever data you provide voluntarily or technically by using it. Thats fine by EU law.
