Borderlands 2 is temporarily free to grab on Steam, as it continues to be review bombed for non-Randy Pitchford tweet reasons

Buuuuuuuuuut they changed the EULA and how it has root level access to your system. As in its literally spyware. Fuck free. You couldn't pay me to install this shit. Do so at your own risk. I want less massive corporations rooting around in my stuff. Not more.

absolutely worth it to get, btw. still play it to this day. and Borderlands 3 I think is like 2 dollars on steam at the moment. *absolutely* grab that.Borderlands 3 has such insanely horrible writing though.

So you can't play with friends? Isn't that like half of the fun of Bonerlands?

> You will not use exploits or illegal or unauthorised means to interfere with or adversely impact any other user’s ability to use the services as intended; to gain unfair gameplay advantage; or to gain access to virtual items or other content to which you do not have valid entitlement. This includes the use of cheats or so-called ‘mod menus’, unauthorised mods, hacks, glitches, or any other technical exploits, and phishing, scamming, or social engineering. In legalese, does 'this includes' mean 'additionally' or 'specifically'?Also note that this is for a game *without* competitive multiplayet

Please forgive my ignorance. What if we already have the game on Steam? Do I have to approve something? Or do they just have that access now?

> i know about that. i also know its quite overblown. their EULA is no different than all of them. That’s quite an ignorant statement to make, just because you don’t care about what you sign up for doesn’t mean other’s don’t as well. > but no malware has been installed. a root kit is quite literally a type of malware, you agreed to malware being installed to your machine at any point in time.

It's outlaying the parameters and then it goes on to give some common examples so a rational actor can get a good idea behind the meaning of the parameters. It's not an exhaustive list of all activities that could violate their parameters.

Does it forbid those even if they don't violate the parameters in the beginning or only if they do violate them?Can you give an example? Purely for academic intrigue... Not advisement purposes.
