I got something like that in HITMAN (on Steam) a couple days ago. From what I can gather, it's a way to prevent people from cheating, saying it looks at a bunch of stuff on your computer regarding the game, etc. etc. And you'd have to agree to the terms or be permanently in 'off-line' mode.


There were several paragraphs saying what they'd do, and that it was all due to some UK law, or something from over in Europe. With all this insanity going on over there (they're essentially trying to be the thought police) makes it all reek to high heaven of 'Big Brother'.

ETA: Rationalizing my paranoia. Which means the 2 things are in no way related.

Knowledge is power.

Hahahahahahaa, THAT'S your interpretation of the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)? That's literally the exact opposite of the law.

The GDPR requires that companies be completely upfront and honest in terms of how and why they use your data, and requires those same companies to give you clear and obvious ways to OPT OUT of that data collection.

And you're rambling on about "Big Brother" while you live in a country that doesn't protect your information, and does allow companies to do basically whatever they want with your data? Up to and including shit like what Cambridge Analytica did? LOOOOOOOOL, yeah, okay.
