"Kharak is being consumed by a firestorm. The scaffold has been destroyed. All orbital facilities destroyed. Significant debris ring in lower Kharak orbit. Receiving no communications from anywhere in the system... Not even beacons."
So I looked at the steam reviews, and the one with the most upvotes and little steam award thingies has a laundry list of reasons why the EULA alone (also has Denuvo) is just rife with badness.
Quote:
Starting off, has Denuvo.
Absolutely insane EULA/terms/privacy policy.
Some nuggets:
They give themselves license to collect data like:
first/last name
e-mail address
residential address
telephone number
photographic images (if uploaded by user)
credit card information, if provided to their third-party payment processors for purchases
shipping information, if provided for purchases
country
game device identifier
screen name
demographic information (age, gender, date of birth, marital status, race, level of education, etc.), if you choose to provide it in profiles, surveys or forums, such as an application to become one of their playtesters
Some of these are obviously less reasonable than others. There's no opt out to data gathering in general.
They also say they might grab your MAC-address.
They directly partner with Facebook and Google (so sharing data), so enjoy expanding upon the giant porfolio they got about your personal life.
As is sadly more and more normal these days, they give themselves license to terminate your game (hur dur you don't own the game, you're only licensed to use it) for any reason so you lose access to it.
If you live in the US (I don't, so it doesn't apply to me, but have fun if you are) you forfeit your right to class action lawsuits (have to do arbitration, which companies win roughly 95% of the time).

I could go on.
