[News] Electronic Arts' Spies On You!

It would seem EA have reached another milestone in the form of customer service. In order to better serve you, the customer, they are now including spyware free of charge with possibly all of their upcoming PC software starting with the flagship Battlefield 2142.

All you have to do is install the software and agree to the EULA while the wizardry sends all of your personal data and internet habits back to the EA offices to be pondered over. Why? To provide you, the customer, with in-game ads related to your browsing habits.

Quote:

When you open the box, a big slip of paper falls out first, preceding any discs or manuals. The slip of paper says, essentially, that 2142 includes monitoring software which runs while your computer is online, and records "anonymous" information like your IP address, surfing habits (probably via cookie scans), and other "computing habits" in order to report this information back to ad companies and ad servers, which generates in-game ads.

EA guy #1: Let's see what Bob, aka DeathStryker, is up to tonight.
EA guy #2: He's looking at some German fetish porn site where the girls pee on all these dudes. In the face.
EA guy #1: Hmmmm.
