It does. My whole thought with this thread was just that, since it is so visible one could say up there swimming with the big sharks, Ubisoft, Codemasters, Gearbox. Visibility is good! and that is basically what my congratulation was about Tinfoil Hat time it's my solemn duty to you to report the horrible fact that these forums actually collect usage stats too and more, like friends list (Squad could use this for really freaky NWO stuff) *gasp* And not to mention what your ISP knows about you and what stats they are collecting, they can tell when your home or not, what sites your visiting! Steam collect usage stats just like any community site. They know who owns what game, how many hours you play it and what you achieved in the game. If you think that is bad the future for you looks very bleak. Our anonymity as citizens are not going to improve.
