    No guessing is required, the actual EULA is available to be read: https://store.steampowered.com//eula/49520_eula_0 (assuming the correct EULA is being linked from the store page edit: …which may not be the case based on the last-updated date (maybe Steam doesn’t have the current version?)

    Based on what I’m seeing here so far, I would describe that review’s language as sensationalist

    edit2: based on the available information (namely frames from the video sparking the backlash) this IS the same EULA that’s being blasted, so my original comment stands

    edit3 electric boogaloo: people are calling it “the EULA” but it seems like the main contention is over the privacy policy (with just some of the modding stuff etc being in the EULA): https://www.take2games.com/privacy/en-US/

      Man I’m so fucking tired of this sensationalist bandwagoning part of the internet. Turns out changing the platform to fedi/threadi doesn’t solve the problem because it’s fundamentally the people that are the problem 🙃

        You could ameliorate the situation by posting a comment supported by sources. You know critique the content of the post you’re reacting too.

        Yet you blame the people as the fundamental problem, yet offering no substance of your own. That’s an ad hominem and no real argument.

        If you have not much to contribute, or don’t like the discourse why not refrain from comment and block the persons or instances that rub you the wrong way?

          by posting a comment supported by sources

          I have literally linked:

          • the updated EULA
          • the updated Privacy Policy
          • records of when the game was updated
          • an article discussing the changes

          jesus christ lol, the root level comment saying “Borderlands 2 recently had a rootkit added to it” is not supported by any of the available evidence but is STILL getting promoted here and elsewhere (like the Steam reviews) despite all of the above - so no, piss off dude, I HAVE posted comments supported by sources - they’re just being ignored by you and others
