    What game(s) are you currently playing?

    -Red Faction: Armageddon Well I just finished it, since it was on sale. I understand why people disliked it, compared to RF: Guerilla, it's a completely different game, but I still had a lot of fun playing it. -LA Noire Currently playing through it, enjoying it as a nice change of pace from...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    Funny thing, you telling me what I should care about, as if your opinions instantly mean that everyone sees the world as pessimistically as you. I know very well what they could do, I also know what they have done, and it's very easy to infer where EA would draw the line. No, I don't worry about...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    What... what? did you even read my last post, like even a little? Or have done any research whatsoever. You give permission when you agree to the EULA of most software, Steam and Windows does this, you have to opt out or data collection is automatic after installation, I've never met someone who...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    No, this thread is not. You keep saying Steam and Origin are different, they gather very similar sets of data on your computer, the ONLY difference is that Steam has an option to opt-out of their hardware and software data poll while still using their software and Origin does not. This is a...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    Ok, now go back and read what I said. I am perfectly happy letting Origin gather what minuscule data they want, as it's never bothered me before. I let Steam do it, and I let most of the programs on my computer that do data gathering do this, because there is honestly nothing on my computer they...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    Not to insult, but it doesn't sound like you put any work at all into that comment. "They take ALL of your hardware and software information."? Seriously, show me your evidence for this, I keep hearing people say this but never see this evidence, and btw Steam gathers a lot of information...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    Google was just an example of ways companies do data collection. When software from Microsoft or Steam does data collection, you are asked when you agree to the EULA, I have never ONCE been asked by Microsoft or Steam to allow data collection of hardware/software except when agreeing to the...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    That's a gross over-exaggeration. Most programs are to a degree intrusive, Steam collects hardware data, Google collects browsing data, Microsoft collects system use data, there are a VERY large number of programs that do this. I'm simply trying to find if Origin is doing it in a way that...

    "For privacy, Origin is the same as Steam" WRONG!!! -Updated

    I don't usually like to get caught up in these arguments on privacy, since I find both sides tend to have equally valid points. However in this picture you linked, I only see Origin accessing one program. What is "Lexware"? What Lexware actually is for, would make a difference as to whether it's...

    Pokemon Black/White 2 Announced!

    Well I suppose it's... different? they're using numbers for a change, but I stopped caring about Pokemon years ago when the only games were all practically copy/paste. I wonder how much longer they will keep doing this that it's actually profitable and sells.

    Why it is acceptable to criticize smokers, but not fat people?

    I tolerate people who smoke or are fat. The line I draw is when they are smoking in public. Being fat in public doesn't physically hurt someone. Smoking however does, quite a bit, and it smells really bad to, much worse then the smell of extra perspiration on a fat person. Also, you're...
