Looks like they (Take-Two) are getting a lot of flak for their new invasive/broad EULA. But this is still a good deal... I'll pick it up and keep it tucked away in my library until they get themselves sorted out.
I didn't know privacy laws were dictated by "general" concepts of assumed use cased projected to all end users? And wait until you find out about the Switch's built in internet browser which allows people to visit any site on the internet to include the social security, banking, etc.
Again, read your ISP's, PC's, phone's, mobile carrier's.....even SlickDeal's EULA before complaining about GearBox's.
....The mental gymnastics are strong in this thread.
I mean in a general moral sense no. In a personal "Is this potentially a problem for me personally?" since I do keep private stuff on my PC but not on my switch, the difference is obvious to anyone not weirdly playing "Aktually!" games in a forum.
I don't even know what this controversy is, and plan to buy this, but the practical difference is obvious in those two scenarios.

Nintendo's shareholders LOVE that reasoning. "Keep it up" they're saying.

lol I have no idea what you are talking about. I don't have a switch 2 and won't for a long while yet, so no idea what my statement of "The obvious difference between being spied on by my console vs my laptop or cell phone seems obvious to anyone not playing "gotcha" games on forums" has to do with Nintendo's shareholders or their money?

Oh I see. you thought I was saying "plan to buy a switch". No I planned to (and did) buy borderlands 3 on this sale, because this TOS is pretty much the same as everyone elses. My point was the dude claiming to not understand the practical difference between a console being invasive of privacy and a piece of software on my windows PC.
W.r.t. the game itself, I do feel that the quippy tone and humor of the Borderlands series in general feels like a relic of the previous decade, but the gameplay alone might be worth 3 dollars if looter shooters are your thing.

Any discounts at other e-tailers for Borderlands 2? That's all I'm missing to make my library complete on Steam.
Looks like it's currently $5 on Steam for base game, or Eneba has base game for ~$3, GOTY for ~$5. I've seen some mixed opinions on Eneba, but I've bought a few games there without any issues (so far, knock on wood).
This would've been a deal if it included the DLCs. The game has been out for a few years, and i think it was even free at one point. Or might be I got it free with my gpu. In either case, I'll wait for Epic to put it for free or decent sale with dlcs. They had Tina recently. Hopefully, they'll have this one as well.
In a personal "Is this potentially a problem for me personally?"
Nope, since you all only started to care about this exact EULA verbiage when it came to Gearbox (but not million other times you've agreed to it otherwise)...clearly it didn't matter until Reddit told you to think it did.

That's like saying the 4th amendment only applies to bedrooms because 'who keeps private stuff in their living room or car.'
OK. For those hearing the collective screeching of the gaming community.
Let me clarify something. There are three major parts of the EULA drama that are getting under peoples skin. All three are standard practice these days. The first two are the stated implementation of anti-cheat and the mod approach changes. Both are net negatives for a typically non-competitive game, but they are pretty standard these days for games. The mods hurt the most, but tbh, most players are going to not care about mods for these games.
Now for the last item people have an issue with. I am not quoting the EULA word for word on this one, but there is a statement that they are entitled to collect browser data for various purposes. This is poorly worded and that horrible wording is the reason for the outrage. It is very common practice for applications to have an embedded browser. Applications that have these have the rights to all browsing data within that application because it is part of the application. Take two's software EULA is covering this. If you look at their launcher and some of their games usually you interact with a browser shortly for a login or something of the sort. Once again, this is a very common practice.
EULAs change all of the time, often they are written in legalese and by people not 100% familiar with technology. This game is certainly not spyware. Please don't let the bandwagon outrage prevent you from enjoying this decent game.
I am willing to be proven wrong that there is malfeasance going on here, but until I see proof of what people of claiming. T2 get the botd.
That's certainly one way of continuing your trend of being a smug asshole for no reason.
Sorry for not slandering a company "for no reason" or for not singling them out in a band-wagoning review bombing lynch mob while ignoring countless other companies who do the exact same thing in exactly the same situation. IMO that is a pretty "asshole" thing to do.
Also, pretty "asshole" behavior "continuing your trend of" attacking and deflecting but not addressing the actual topic of conversation. But lets not talk about that.
FWIW, as far as I know no privacy laws are based around the "is it a Nintendo device, if so, it is suddenly legal" loophole. Feel free to correct me

Thanks, that is all we needed to know.
