EA fixed origin EULA sorta, kinda, not really
Electronic Arts-origin service has revised the EULA which users on the digital road with pitchforks took this week due to their invasive practice collect user information to other third parties and marketing reasons. This is in contrast to, say, steam EULA always user data nor use mines only for valve is anyone.
EA is hoping that the children, softer, gentler version distract users enough of the fact that it is not something change ease user's minds. You can still collect "Nonpersonally identifiable information, including computer configuration, software usage, and peripheral devices connected" has, but it "for the purposes of improving our products and services". Does I white not, sound like a robot that learn from his human master.
However, the amount of the appeasement policy in this new EULA is noticeable:
See, guys and gals? Not to worry! EA is onlyEA knows that you care how information about you collected, used and shared, and we appreciate your trust that we will do so carefully and sensibly. Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and EA would never sell your personal information to third parties, nor would it ever use spyware or install spyware on computers of the user.
