Re: Battlefield 2142 ships with spyware? Say it ain't so and we know that BF2142 isn't also a better game because of this potential advertising revenue stream?
Anyway sorry i'm in a caffinated mood right now. Yes EA is being a little sleazy here in not really explaining what they are doing but did anyone expect more from a publically listed company run not by digerati, but by suits? And since gamers are so desirous of games like this, most are going to put up with the relatively tiny real-world risks, in order to play it as delivered with ill-explained data collection technology and all. |

If it is true spyware, where it actually runs when the game is not even being used, it is just plain wrong. If it is strictly in game and it does not disrupt the game play in anyway by causing lag, excess bandwidth use, etc. then I could care less...as long as they give something back in the form of new maps, weapons, better support and some real customer service that does not take a day or 30 to get a hold of. I have no problem with any company trying to earn more money as long as they in turn put out a better product. |

| Has anyone verified yet if the spyware runs even if the game does not?
Has anyone found yet if it's an extra process or extra tunnel that can be blocked or does it go through the game stream? |
