EA are pure evil, Valve are pure good. Everything is black and white, right and wrong. Wow! Life is so much easier to handle this way. 
 
Except tomorrow I think I will decide that Valve are now evil and Blizzard are the gold standard. Or... maybe I will take the time to decide for myself what I see as acceptable or not. Revolutionary thinking I know.

... All the data collected will be too massive for any person to do anything with, it's all going to AIs which sort anonymous users into categories for likes and dislikes. Unless you're using a service which markets porn, your porn stash couldn't be of less interest to these systems.

IF YOU DO NOT WANT EA TO COLLECT, USE, STORE, TRANSMIT, OR DISPLAY THE DATA DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, PLEASE SKIP BATTLEFIELD 3.  That's not fair, EA.

If you don't want to possibly get cancer, don't smoke? Choices!

I don't think you understand the situation at hand.

I do.

Ive got nothing on my computer i wouldnt tell them about if they asked, so im not really worried

If you guys forgot, Battlefield 2142 did a similar thing where they collected usage data in order to tailor in game advertisements while playing. There was even a huge slip saying much of the same wording as in that Origin EULA inside of the retail box. While 2142 never really got the advertising attention EA wanted, they still collected that data for a period of time.

Man, people are going fucking bananas over there. Unless EA start taking over the world or you have illegal stuff on your computer, why should you bother?

Eh, your example wasn't really comparable to my almost copy paste.

I'm so sick of gamers constantly having to find something to complain about. If you don't like it, don't get it. No on is forcing you, so please stop acting like this is the end of the world..
