<< W A R N I N G >>
Borderlands 2 is free on steam rn, but the publisher Take Two Interactive (known as the owners of Rockstar Games and 2K) updated the EULA to make it a frickin' spyware, if you accept the new EULA you have to:
-Don't install any type of mod. (even if it is legal in your country, you can't)
-Don't use a VPN / virtual machine.
-Let them see your search history.
-Let them use an AI to analyze your gameplay.

<The EULA doesn't affect if you claim the game but when you install it for the first time / update it if you had it already installed>
<update: they might not change it cuz in legal terms, they're warning you that they can see your search history and all that, so it isn't technically a spyware>
Right now Borderlands 2 is being review-bombed with bad reviews.

selling data to know what u like for advertising (which, i dunno if that's the case) explained badly: u wanna buy a Ralsei plushie, u search for it and when u see that it cost 35$ you think "nah, i don't got da money" and u leave the page, that data is saved and they take it to sell to advertisors, so they make more advertising.

yeah, at least it doesn't happend with the ralsei plusie, i want him so frikin' bad

What?? That's insane. Do you know if the EULA also applies to stuff like Bioshock, or is it just Borderlands 2? I know Bioshock is also owned by 2K, and I'm halfway through Bioshock: Infinite and was wondering if the EULA also applied there. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

it's all Take-Two and 2K games, i believe

Ah, okay. Well, that really sucks. Here’s hoping that they realize their stupid mistake sooner or later and take it back. It’s crazy how blind some of these corporations can be.

Thanks for the FUCKIN NEGATIVE NOTHING. I can't even finish my achievement hunting in BioShock 2 & Infinite because of the worst EULA in gaming

And I can’t even get this shit for free, just because "You live in a poor country outside the EU economy, which is called Lithuania"
