Take Two recently changed the Terms of Service on all their Borderlands Games, they force you to comply to terms that will spy on your personal data, will log even your passwords, adresses, phone numbers, IP adresses and other very sensitive data, and their justification is because they want to go against "cheater", in a game that most people play completely solo, and the small rest with their friends, so what harm would cheating do? Nah, they want to spy on you and turn your data into money. And if you dont accept their new Terms of Condition, you lose access to the games you paid money for years ago, just like that. Its basically theft. And they even made a joke about these kinds of ToS in BL3, being straight up criminal, the irony reaches levels not thought possible, thats how delusional randy pitchford and these other delusional corpo-ghouls have become. But hey, they thought the borderlands movie was a great success as well :-))).
I loved BL2, I like BL1, BL3 had good gameplay and graphics, rest was pretty meh, I spent a lot of time on these games, but I will never touch them again if these ToS arent reverted, and tbh the people responsible need to be removed from the company as well.
Had BL4 wishlisted for a long time, wont touch that thing and anything else coming out from these anti-consumer companies anymore, and I'd advice you to do the same if you dont want to be exploited by these people.

I've been a massive fan of the franchise for years, and I was really exited to play though all the games again since I re-bought them for PC. But with the Terms of Service changes I'm deleting them and I wont bother. I'm really glad I at least got to play through most of the games prior to this. But it looks like this unfinished play though is my last.

Take-Two and 2K games have updated all their games Terms of Service, this extends beyond the Borderlands franchise.

All this data being collected by a company who's CEO was accused of leaving a USB with illegal material on it as well as sensitive data of Gearbox/2K partners in a medieval themed restaurant, and were supposed to just give in to these absurd terms of service?

My take on these terms of service changes is that I now have more hard drive space and I will not be playing another Borderlands game until these terms are changed. This also extends to the majority of Take-Two published games. Welcome to my ♥♥♥♥ list Take-Two, you've earned it.
