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

I’ll just stick to playing my console copy

Pirates are winning over my empathy.
They've been my best friend for years

I haven't read the new TOS but if this review is correct it looks like a GDPR nightmare for them. Good luck to them explaining why they need to collect all that personal data.
That might be US only, where the companies have freedom to get all the customer's data and do with it as they will.

Sure, but it also seems like it's data that you offer up via a 2K account, which I don't have. I have a user name tied to my Steam ID, and that's about it.
You think that will stop this from spreading like cancer?

I apparently love downvotes but here goes: All the Borderlands games (annoying childish cell-shaded skinner-box) and everything Gearbox is and has ever created it utter shit. The CEO is a garbage person, and thier dealings with Epic is Capitalist-Oink-Piggy shite! ""FUCK YOU 2K & GEARBOX, AND FUCK YOU BORDERLANDS!"
Apart from the politics, the Borderlands games themselves are hardly utter shit for the most part.

Piracy never gave me up, never let me down

The writing is garbage but,... it's a game for edgy teenagers. It would.
The gameplay for me is Diablo with guns. It would suck for anyone not into that. If anyone isn't into that, don't buy Borderlands games.

Got to argue, I'm a 39 year old gamer, started with PCs back in 90s.
The games are casual fun, they work great as co-op shooters. Story is what it is, but the games themselves are lighthearted and just pure entertaining fun.
Not masterpieces. Just good.

Hm... Ok. Thats crazy. Someone wants to create a new branch of income it seems.
Thats a fucking shame. Now I need to reconsider my plans to buy Borderlands4.
But how will they do it? Which information is gathered from which source?
Most of my accounts only hold as little informations as possible. Also my Os knows nothing about me. My MS account neither.On the other hand my steam 2FA need some mobile information.
Unless you use Linux, your OS knows a ton about you. On top of that, with root access to your computer they can do whatever they want and if their system gets hacked you become a member of a bot farm or crypto mine.

The first felt really fresh at the time. FPS was dominated by various milsim shooters and Halo, and the irreverence and clever cell shading style worked well.
Two dialed things up in scope and scale and added some nice environmental variety.
But the rest? The presequel? The 3rd? I just couldn’t. It was more of the same, tired, repetitive, the jokes started really scraping the bottom of the barrel. I had fun early on, but I’m out.
-
Is the EULA also applicable to the Linux version, assuming that Aspyr did actually port the game to Linux and not just use Wine or something?
The Linux version is utter dog shit. It's native but it's really terrible looking.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Is it not fully compatible with newer versions of Linux? All the gameplay and comparison videos I've seen look identical to the Windows version. I'd test it myself but I'm pretty sure my computer doesn't have the hardware to run it even on low settings.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I liked 1 and 2. Got bored for the prequel and 3 early on.
Tiny Tinas I did play and really enjoyed that game. It felt like a reasonable advancement over BL 1 and 2. It felt like they stagnated for a bit and raised the bar slightly with Tinas.
I really wanted an MMO style Borderlands with 4, and I wouldn't value 4 any higher than Tinas launch price. But I am interested in what the game has to offer.
If you liked only the first two, def give Tina's a try if it has a good sale.

You're definitely right about Pitchford or w/e dingleberry's name is.

- Did the EULA change?
- Were all Take Two games automatically updated in secret and now hijack your machine with root access to spy on everything you do?
- Do Take Two games contain code to report telemetry and user information(including application/system activity) to a home server?
- Is this EULA change extraordinary and particularly egregious in comparison to others that most people have probably already agreed to? (IMO)
- Are people riled up because e a YouTube video went a little viral and now they’re all playing telephone to the point where it’s now gotten to the point of random dumdums are review booming a 13 year old game claiming it’s turned into literal spyware? (again, IMO)
- Should you be surprised by any of this if you’ve been even remotely paying attention for any period of the last 30-40 years?
- Do we need more than just angry idiots in the battle against corpatocracy?
We should be done coddling the late comers at this point. Yes welcome them and accept them, but at a certain point your level of ignorance became a detriment to your community and you should be made aware of that fact.
