| Can someone explain exactly what this means for PC gamers? So if you download porn, although who would, it's free, EA would know? | |

Through Origin, EA can look at everything on your hard drive. Porn, music, movies, other games, etc. They can also look at all of the websites you visit. | |

| Big LOL. Definitely NOT getting BF3 on PC (not like I was anyways) and I'm actually considering not getting it on consoles either since I have a feeling it'll brick my console from some very stupid EA-specific reason.
All those people telling me that EA is NOT worse than Activision can jam a fork in their eye. I fucking PREDICTED that EA would get worse over time. | |

| I think once people claimed that Activision was worse than EA, they got cocky and now they're going back to the way they were.
Fuck it, I've changed my mind. Activision > EA | |

Companies often take advantage of the fact that 99% of people skip over the Terms of Service. | |

I'm pretty sure everyone would. no sense in reading all that text. There was this food joint in the UK that had an online delivery service and to use it you had to agree to the Terms of Service, which had a line in it saying, "If you agree to these Terms of Service, the food joint will own your soul for eternity." Anyone who actually bothered to read it and clicked "decline" got a free $5 gift card. | |
