Borderlands 2: Collector's Edition Pack DLC

You what's going on right now, you know why my review is negative...

The new T.O.S Stinks

Uninstall take two SPYware

I don't need spyware, and I definitely won't pay $80 for it.

Take-Two has recently changed their user agreement that enables them to collect root level information from users. This includes account names, passwords, browser history, IP address and location, and can ban anyone for using a VPN or mods. This is an EGREGIOUS violation of basic human privacy all disguised as "anti-cheat". I will ONLY remove this review if ALL these conditions are removed.

It saddens me that no matter which company I look into, all of them keep pushing for shady, predatory and anti-custumer practices. I played Borderlands 1 on PS, played Borderlands 2 on PS and loved it so much I actually bought it on Steam again, Bought and played Borderlands 3 even more, but in face of recent changes 2K made to their TOS I'm leaving the franchise (and all of 2K). The worst part is they are retroactively changing the deal they already made with me on past games I already own and played. I don't care if the product is digital media or physical, changing the terms of the deal AFTER the sale is illegal (despipe governments continue blindness to it specially on digital media), and I'll never support or tolerate it. New TOS includes: COLLECTION OF USERNAMES AND PASSWORDS, IP LOCATIONS AND BROWSER HISTORY DATA. Important Info in ToS: • Mods are a bannable offense • Display of Cheats/Exploits is bannable (even on SINGLE-PLAYER games! You want to ban cheaters on competitive or pvp oriented multiplayer games, AWESOME! BAN THEM ALL! But 2K has no business dictating how I choose to play MY Single-player games. Also, if the evidence to determine a cheater is the same as Bethesda did with Fallout 76, where they banned ppl just because they had Cheat Engine installed on their PCs (not actually running when Fallout was being played just installed), then F off too) • Forced arbitration so long as it is permitted in your region • You can be banned for the using a VPN while connecting to online servers • Cannot access game content on a Virtual PC • Best last they reserve the right to modify this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time (again, changing the terms of the sale after the sale is ILLEGAL in pretty much the entire world) 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 wants all your delectable data and will never let anyone gain access to your data intentionally or not. ᴾʳᵒᵐᶦˢᵉ Collected Data Types: • Identifiers / Contact Information: Name, user name, gamertag, postal and email address, phone number, unique IDs, mobile device ID, platform ID, gaming service ID, advertising ID (IDFA, Android ID) and IP address • Protected Characteristics: Age and gender • Commercial Information: Purchase and usage history and preferences, including gameplay information • Billing Information: Payment information (credit / debit card information) and shipping address • Internet / Electronic Activity: Web / app browsing and gameplay information related to the Services; information about your online interaction(s) with the Services or our advertising; and details about the games and platforms you use and other information related to installed applications • Device and Usage Data: Device type, software and hardware details, language settings, browser type and version, operating system, and information about how users use and interact with the Services (e.g., content viewed, pages visited, clicks, scrolls) • Profile Inferences: Inferences made from your information and web activity to help create a personalized profile so we can identify goods and services that may be of interest • Audio / Visual Information: Account photos, images, and avatars, audio information via chat features and functionality, and gameplay recordings and video footage (such as when you participate in playtesting) • Sensitive Information: Precise location information (if you allow the Services to collect your location), account credentials (user name and password), and contents of communications via chat features and functionality.

!!! IMPORTANT !!! !!! DON'T DOWNLOAD THIS GAME !!! Take-Two and 2K games have updated all their games Terms of Service, turning this game as well as all of their other games into literal spyware. Important Info in Terms of Service: • Mods are a bannable offense • Display of Cheats/Exploits is bannable • Forced arbitration clause and a waiver of class action and jury trial rights for all users residing in the United States and any other territory other than Australia, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, or The Territories of The European Economic Area • You can be banned for using a VPN while connecting to online servers • Cannot access game content on a Virtual PC Collected Data Types: • Identifiers / Contact Information: Name, user name, gamertag, postal and email address, phone number, unique IDs, mobile device ID, platform ID, gaming service ID, advertising ID (IDFA, Android ID) and IP address • Protected Characteristics: Age and gender • Commercial Information: Purchase and usage history and preferences, including gameplay information • Billing Information: Payment information (credit / debit card information) and shipping address • Internet / Electronic Activity: Web / app browsing and gameplay information related to the Services; information about your online interaction(s) with the Services or our advertising; and details about the games and platforms you use and other information related to installed applications • Device and Usage Data: Device type, software and hardware details, language settings, browser type and version, operating system, and information about how users use and interact with the Services (e.g., content viewed, pages visited, clicks, scrolls) • Profile Inferences: Inferences made from your information and web activity to help create a personalized profile so we can identify goods and services that may be of interest • Audio / Visual Information: Account photos, images, and avatars, audio information via chat features and functionality, and gameplay recordings and video footage (such as when you participate in playtesting) • Sensitive Information: Precise location information (if you allow the Services to collect your location), account credentials (user name and password), and contents of communications via chat features and functionality.

Fine DLC if bought as part of a bundle. Borderlands is currently being review bombed due to a change of publishers which does not reflect any changes coming to the Borderlands games. Gearbox does not care if you are using cheats, and they are not installing kernel level spyware. This is being blown out of proportion by people who have no idea what they are talking about.

The Borderlands franchise has been turned into spyware and the ToS has been updated to be more intrusive. I'll never buy another Gearbox or 2K game again.
