WTF EA? Everytime the gamer thinks things are going good, you guys do dumb ____! You companies always try to play us as if you don't know some one is paying attention.

Is this the new way now? You think EVERYBODY wants to play BF3 so bad that they will give up their privacy to you and other companies? People buy anti-spyware for this ____ that you guys are pulling! What is going on with videogame companies these days? I know governments and other baddies do this all the time, but why our games?

I just want to play the damn game. I don't want to have to worry about this garbage.

lol and if we don't accept, you guys hold back DLC too?

2. Consent to Collection and Use of Data.

EA knows that you care how information about you is collected, used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and EA would never sell your personally identifiable information to anyone, nor would it ever use spyware or install spyware on users’ machines. We and agents acting on our behalf do not share information that personally identifies you without your consent, except in rare instances where disclosure is required by law or to enforce EA’s legal rights.

In addition to information that you give EA directly, EA collects non-personally identifiable (or anonymous) information for purposes of improving our products and services, providing services to you, facilitating the provision of software updates, dynamically served content and product support as well as communicating with you. The non-personally identifiable information that EA collects includes technical and related information that identifies your computer (including the Internet Protocol Address) and operating system, as well as information about your Application usage (including but not limited to successful installation and/or removal), software, software usage and peripheral hardware. As noted above, this information is gathered periodically for purposes such as improving our products and services, troubleshooting bugs, and otherwise enhancing your user experience.

This is the new one made especially for the reactions of the gaming community...Pretty comforting isnt it ?

Only comforting if you want to feel good about it, knowing they will do it anyway. This isn't the day and age of trust and just because they have rewritten it to make it sound better, everyone knows what it is.

All they are trying to do is secure their sales and pre-orders. They don't think people will read the terms of service in detail, so if you even think about going up against them in court for your rights:

By accepting these terms, you and EA expressly waive the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.

YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY THIS PROVISION, YOU AND EA ARE FOREGOING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.

YOU AND EA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

People are free to do what they want. If they want to play any EA game this bad, they gotcha by the balls doing so. Only on PC do we have to go through this.
