The new privacy policy is insane,

it allows them to acess and store (*and share) ridiculous amounts of information that they have no buisiness knowing.

I have puchased this game years ago and now they block me from playing it unless i forefeit my right to privacy?

I consider this to be fraud.


Edit: here are some examples:

information that they collect includes:

– Nickname, phone number, SteamID64(*), purchase history, etc. to provide and operate the game;*

– Nickname, email address, device information, and records of the issues you experience (to provide customer service)*, and

– Email address, gender, age, country of residence, language, and information for delivering goods (i.e. name, postal address, and phone number)(for participation in the survey, and other events).*

When you participate in social features (such as in-game chat), the information that you disclose is public information. We may store and access it, and it may be read, copied, collected or used by other users without your consent.

*When they name a reason for collecting this and that information it doesn't legally bind them as far as I can tell.
It seems to be just an explanation for the reader, especially considering this list is under "information we collect" and not "how we use your information", that comes later.



who they share the information with includes:

marketing platforms and providers of analytics services relating to player behavior*, in order to tailor the Service and to conduct marketing activities
*this does not mean that they only share information that's necessary for the analytics, it means that they are allowed to share what they have with a company that provides those analytics services.
player behavior is also not limited to ingame activities, it can be simply activity of you, the player, as far as the wording goes.



they also retain the right to give out your information if their company is aquired or merged.

We may also share your information where such disclosure is essential to comply with a legal obligation or a lawful data access request, pursuant to a merger or acquisition, with our affiliates for the purposes described in this Policy, or where you have otherwise provided* your consent or at your direction.

*"or where you have otherwise provided your consent" reads like "We may share your information in such and such cases and also however we see fit (as long as it's legal)" bruh💀


please check out the privacy policy to see for yourself:
