Wait.. What the fuck is this? Why does Paradox need my data?

Just give me your mone- i mean gameplay information goy

dont question it, goy

>>389288334
>pirate the game
>play it without any privacy issues
>cuck buys the game
>gets his data stolen by swedish jews
el oh el
we've gotten to the point where pirates get a better experience than legit customers

any game with achievements in it, the developers are using them to see how many people got how far in the game

every game collects metrics like this, paradox is just saying they do it

>>389288334
why do you care? no matter what you do, someone already has your data anyway. get over it. there is nothing you can to do stop it other than just not using technology.

>>389288334
just do it goy.

>>389288612
It's not anything like that. Read the EULA before you post.

Or are you a shill?

>>389288558
lol if you think the pirated version doesn't phone home

Yet no one cares when Blizzard does it apparently.

>>389288785
i have and it's standard procedure to collect this data. the only weird thing paradox is doing here is admitting to it

but you go ahead and play your "non jewish" games, dipshit

>>389288840
That's interesting

>>389288803
Do you know what firewalls and inbound and outbound rules are? I can assure you no game outside of the ones I'm forced to buy because I want to play in multiplayer are sending out any data

>>389288927
>it's standard procedure
No it's not.

>>389288334
to go through your post history and report you to your local antifa group

>>389288927
>but you go ahead and play your "non jewish" games, dipshit

I already play japanese single player games

>>389289015
yes it is

when a game gives you a cheevo for beating level one, it isn't because the developers want to make you feel good for doing so, it's because they want to see how many players beat level one. if not many players do, level one needs to get easier

pretty much every piece of software utilizes feedback like this. if you think that's too fucking sinister, then uninstall your OS and unplug your fucking modem, throw your phone away, go live in a fucking cave somewhere

>>389289454
Read the EULA

>>389288840
So being a shitter leads to being a cuck. Good to know why /v/ is the way it is, at least.

>>389288334
Push the I agree button and shut the fuck up.

>>389289948
i did, what now

oh you're still a dumbfuck. cool

To sell it to shit like google and other people who will use that information to spam you with ads you shit.

>>389289454
>if not many players do, level one needs to get easier
Or maybe its because people didnt play the game

>>389288334
the actual data they're asking for isn't anything of personal data at all

>>389290305
Your steam id isn't personal? In the end all my data is my personal data. If they are selling it and I'm not getting a cut of the money they are stealing it from me. Give players who agree to share their data a discount on their next paradox purchase, now that would be fair.

>>389290623
No your steamID isn't personal

Personal information is information that specifically identifies you

Unless your steamID was your actual name, nothing can be derived from the SteamID

>>389288840
You guys do realize that this is a fake article right? Or is your ADHD so bad that you cannot be bothered to check the source of your news?

>>389290623
>Your steam id isn't personal?
no, literally anyone can look up your id and vanity urls. its freely available through the api. the most personal information you have is your account name which no one should ever see except yourself.

>>389290827
I don't think you understand what personal means. I get that English probably isn't your first language it's okay you'll grow up and learn te language better eventually

>>389290623
>they're stealing from me

They aren't stealing shit

Next you'll say something stupid like "they're stealing my IP address" or some stupid shit

>>389291069
No I don't think YOU understand what the definition of Personal means

Thats not what personal means, no one has ever used it that way and Personal Data has ALWAYS been information that identifies you personally.

Information that reveals your name, your address, your person itself, things that can actually reveal your identity. None of the information Paradox has listed can identify you in any specific way.

>>389291076
Lmao they are earning money from your data and you're not getting anything out of it, yet you're defending them. I don't mind them usin my data if they remunerate me. You may like giving things for free, I don't. Not that I care as I pirate all games that do this, I have principles.

>>389291220
>I don't mind them usin my data if they remunerate me.
The service is your remuneration.
Remember, if something is free, then you are the product

>>389291220
If you don't like them using the readily available data from the Steam API you should probably uninstall any paradox game along with steam as a whole if you don't like it because you agreed to it and this information is readily available to anyone who pulls a SteamAPI which is publicly available.

>pay me for the free information that is readily available to everyone already.

You're a fucking moron

>all this corporate dick sucking
I bet you faggots don't even use Adblockers

>>389288334
>Why does Paradox need my data?
So you can't pirate the DLC

>steamid
already freely available via api
>computer config
any game can detect this
>gameplay behavior and progress
probably reads your savegame. wouldn't be surprised if this check for pirated dlc as well knowing paradox
>browser type and platform
literally every website on earth can pull this from a browser

not saying its right, but this is not limited to paradox by any means

>>389292212
This is actually very mild for a game studio

They could totally be collecting way more data when it comes to personal shit but they aren't. They're only collecting data that's readily available and publicly available

They aren't like Apple or Google that literally collects everything you do including reading your email
