Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews.

  It seems like you’re giving of a “victim” vibe with this by stating you wished for only a particular type of “positive response” when you’ve posted a misleading comment and doubled-down with “EULAs half the people in this thread have already clicked thru” which you have no way of knowing.

  Were all Take Two games automatically updated in secret and now hijack your machine with root access to spy on everything you do? ❌

  10.2. Updates, Modifications, and Sunset. We may provide patches, updates, or upgrades to the Services, Virtual Items, Content, or your Account that may be required for you to continue using the Services, including automatic or “in the background” updates without notice to you.

  “Was hoping for more of a ‘you’re late, you have a bunch of homework to catch up on’” You’re expecting others to hold your hand and inform you of every event or action taken by every company. I guess I’ll do my part since I have been trying to let other people know for a while now,

  StormGate - Privacy Policy and End User Agreement. Is this just the new industry standard to avoid? (post made by me 10 months ago)

  Why don’t you see it more?

  Steam Discussion deleted after questioning the “EULA” of Stormgate, another post by me after I tried to inform others and was suppressed, meaning the reviews is the only course of action that most have at their disposal. Even posting on their official subreddit did no good with the exact same type of response you’ve presented here,

  Why am I consenting to have my “Medical Information”, “Browser/Search History”, “Social Security/Drivers License number”, “Geolocation and movements”, and more collected to play Stormgate? (22k members, only 122 upvotes)

  (the responses)

  • They didn’t collect such information (they technically couldn’t), they are giving examples of such types of personally identifiable information.
  • Yeah, it’s excessive, they don’t need half of this. However, writing it this way makes it near impossible for them to screw up by accident. If you play games, you probably agreed to a handful of ELUA’s like that by now.
  • This keeps getting brought up in every controversial game these days and the answer is always the same: They aren’t.
  • Most of this is not out of the ordinary.
  • Imagine thinking all of this information about you isn’t already owned by several corporations lol.
  • Some of these stuffs are required in X countries not yours, stop thinking the entire world is all about you buddy.

  You’ve officially become part of the problem and an ally to the very same reason why we can’t “accomplish the organized action needed for real change (than leaving a bunch of negative reviews.)”
