  1. “…the information we collect may include personal information such as your first and/or last name, e-mail address, phone number, photo, mailing address, geolocation, or payment information. In addition, we may collect your age, gender, date of birth, zip code, hardware configuration, console ID, software products played, survey data, purchases, IP address and the systems you have played on. We may combine the information with your personal information and across other computers or devices that you may use.“ Anyone with some brains should react on this paragraph of the EULA alone (this is basically a "do what you want and get of of jail immediately" card). If unsure, consult the spyware article on wikipedia (you'll notice that the examples for spyware in that article are less scary than the mentioned paragraph :-)). If you disagree, i'm genuinely interested in what constitutes your personal limits what an EULA may ask for (really). I'd just recommend voting on steam. @Mods: is it so bad what i am writing that you need to wait until 3 more pages are written before approving?
  2. Aside from the fact that this EULA is illegal in any country within the EU ("DSGVO law", https://gdpr-info.eu/art-6-gdpr/, see also https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2007530-how-the-eu-can-fine-us-companies-for-violating-gdpr, quote: "[...] the new rules place heavy fines for violations — up to €20 million or 4 percent of global revenues, whichever is higher.") i want to express my very sadness about this move. Just for this post i registered an account, being a long-time lurker since 0.23. I was a VERY big fan of KSP/Squad and even purchased KSP three times via Steam (for myself, 2nd time for myself after around 2000 hours of play time and i gifted it to a nephew of mine). To get to the point: i will a) not buy the add-on (which i already longed for purchasing in order to give Squad something back) b) uninstall the official steam version of KSP myself (keeping my old copies, of course) c) try to convince all my friends using it to do the same I am working for a quite big software company in germany and we're taking data protection laws VERY seriously (we're in the b2b and b2c cloud business) and i am so disappointed how Squad manages to flip from "the most non-evil game company in the world" to the exact opposite. I considered pointing a few german it-zines to this, but i guess it will happen anyway and i have some respect left, so at least i don't want to be responsible for the then-happening excrements storm.
