KSP removes (most of?) its spyware Anonymous 07/28/18 (Sat) 21:03:48 f30b7d No.15220831

You may remember that Take Two (the people who bought Kerbal Space Program from Squad) updated the EULA for the game saying that your personal information was being collected and possibly sold to third parties. This caused a lot of drama on Steam as many people gave the game bad reviews and swore to never play again, which caused shills and/or good goys to call them paranoid virgin losers and such.

Two days ago (July 26th), Take Two released a new update (1.4.5) removing the RedShell spyware and told RedShell to delete any data that they had collected from KSP. In addition, they added an option to opt-out of the Unity spyware.

They also claim that "only limited personal data for KSP—limited to the personal data that players provide directly through purchases from the KSP store and through signing up for the KSP forums and wiki" is collected.

Personally I don't trust them quite enough to run it outside of a no-internet sandbox, but it's good to see a company listening to pissed customers.

Are pro-denuvo/redshell/battleye users always paid shills or is the average normalfaggot this retarded?

I'd say a mixture.

Also, there are some people who would defend just about anything because the alternative is buyer's remorse.

I like buyers remorse. It sounds so dark and somber.

If KSP actually had its spyware removed, that's good, but it's hard to imagine that sort of thing is easily proven. The game isn't owned by its original creators anymore so it's hard to get worked up over any lost sales.

After watching 5h of flat earth theories that trying to prove trees uses to be dozens of kilometers high by looking at masons symbolism in paintings and cartoons, people are just this retarded.

What's the point? They've already data-mined anyone who ran the spyware version.

>Data is anonymized before being sent

>collects gameplay data and certain personal data from players (IP adress and device ID)

About as anonymized as leaving your id card for someone to steal.

>or join an online forum

Maybe in this damned age where idiots put all their info and credit card info on the web.

it's kinda funny that they even attempt these little PR ploys. Maybe just to mullify the masses and make a few stockholders happy. They have to know that the majority of "gamers' right now don't really care about anything unless their favorite YTer tells them to.

They should learn from GoG and Putin. if you want people to forget your shitty behavior, trot out some waifu bait and all will be forgiven.

It's almost unanimously paid shills. You might get a few that chime in that don't care either way and are just disinterested in the topic altogether, but as for people aggressively defending it are ALWAYS paid shills.

Sad but true. Dark Souls became the meme that it is because it was huge streamerbait the time it got a PC port. It was just as niche as DeS before that.

Funny how the new laws force these actions. You cannot give or sell any user information to 3rd party anymore, unless you clearly inform all your users about it, and have the resources to actually comply to "remove my data"-requests. Bad/good/fun times.

Paid Shills since Steam has put policies in place in order to fight hate speech.
