- 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.

Its a bit more than that:

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.
What are you arguing with? I don't see your comment as contradictory to theirs at all.

Precise location information? Wtf for?

The Linux version is utter dog shit. It's native but it's really terrible looking.
It's also not been updated for a long time. You can't play with the windows version anymore.

Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. Owns Rockstar Games, Zynga and 2K. So if that's all their games, it includes at least these: Bioshock series, Borderlands series, Civilization series, Grand Theft Auto series, Mafia series, Max Payne series, NBA 2K series, PGA Tour 2K series, Red Dead series, WWE 2K series and XCOM series.
Amazing stuff!

I’ll say it again, if you think this is anything new you haven’t been paying attention. I’m all for calling this fuckery out and pushing for something better. But like where yall been?
Still no actual answers from anyone on how this is ‘more’ than what I described in my op. Sure it’s a more detailed list, but it’s really not the “gotcha” everyone seems to think it is. That is, if youve been paying attention.

Let's ride the wave. Turn this into a huge controversy known industry-wide. Then, next game that comes out with EULA like this, we say "THIS GAME HAS A BORDERLANDS-STYLE EULA". Pretend it's new to exploit the shock value and get the gamers riled up. Then, the industry gets better.
Tell the frog that the pot wasn't always this hot.

What point are you trying to make? You say you're "all for calling this kind of fuckery out" but then you're criticizing people for calling it out? And who cares what other EULAs might say? The point is that the license agreement for this game and others owned by this company didn't say this shit before, and now they do. The company is actively making their user agreement more hostile to the users which is what people are pissed about.

Due to Steam's tos updates a few months ago, isn't take-two opening itself up to a massive lawsuit?
No idea, but I think it would be funny, so I'm all for it and hope you are right.

Is this because Embracer sold Borderlands to Take-Two last year?

It doesn't matter how many similar EULA's people have already accepted. The best moment to not eat it anymore would have been the first time it happened, the second best time is right now.
Also, retroactively amending an EULA is a different quality, since people have already paid for the game and would be locked out after the fact if they didn't accept.

Might maroon me for fucking up the FOSS though.

If more folks are waking up and shaking a stick at it or doing something but blindly click through (thus legally unenforceable) EULAs I'm all for it.
Better late than never.

So...if Steam is running in a Flatpak, and Borderlands is launched from Steam, how much can they even see...really?

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.
I played it sometime toward the end of last year using proton. I'll have to try it again.

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!"
everything Gearbox is and has ever created it utter shit
OpFor was good, Blue Shift was alright too.
Everything since they stole the whole idea of Borderlands has been bad though.
