Hi everyone - We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns. (1) Take-Two Does Not Use Spyware Take-Two does not use spyware in its games. Take-Two’s Privacy Policy applies to all labels, studios, games, and services across all media and platform types such as console, PC, mobile app, and website.
The issue is that the privacy policy changed on an old game people bought long ago, and now they’re not allowed to play the game without agreeing to the changes.
The privacy policy changed not explicitly for the game. It is possible the data collection behaviour has always been like that and they only now have rewritten it to comply with current laws. The way its written is common to comply with EU law (what in detail may be collected and for what purpose).
Nothing changed for anyone that bought the game and only plays the game exclusively (eg. on Steam).
