I'm still playing 1.3 and will be carefully going over my 1.3 EULA (which is the last one I agreed to)

I already updated so now I'm stuck

I don't understand why would Take Two would change the EULA and such.

From my sources, there is spyware, and my response to this, is; what internet port(s) is the information utilizing to communicate to these sites and how can I block them?

Will something like Norton firewall work as well?

I don't know about Norton, but I do know that Kaspersky can be set to block a single executable from going to the net

1.3.1. is still available, so you can revert to that version. I have found no redshell.dll in the archive. As to the eula, you can send an email to the company that you retract your prior agreement with the EULA.

Star Trek First Contact:

Picard: NO! NOOOOOOOOO!!! [smashes a display case in anger; Both pause, shocked] I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space, and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds, and we fall back. Not again! The line must be drawn here! This far, no further! And I will make them PAY for what they've done!

What is most concerning is that Take Two could take your social security number if you have your banking info on your computer. It says We can take you banking info

Wait wait wait.... 1.4 is out? HECK YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHH!

Since we haven't even had a recognition of the concerns raised in this thread why not see what Mr. Jim Sterling has to say about this ... I'm sure he has the resources at hand to get to the bottom of our concerns

Here's the reddit post for it ... if enough of us comment about it maybe he'll take a look

 

[Kernel Kraken]

Ok then. Is there a way that we can get 90% of the community to March on T2's headquarters?

They don't care enough. One concerned customer as far as they are concerned is nothing.

We could try.

I wouldn't be surprised if this thread and the entire topic disappears from the forum.

Surely they've snuck something into the TOS of the forum that we're violating just by talking about this.

according to this poll

 

there are 108 people who plan on buying the expansion, + an extra 30ish (me included) who might buy it depending on bugs/reviews, so a significant boycott might be hard.

edit numbers!! and I somehow deleted part of my message XD.

I don't want KSP to lose out but the EULA and privacy policy is just do much.

I love this game is one of the best simulation games but Take Two is just taking advantage for an extra buck.

what is wrong with the new EULA? I've seen people complain, but no easy to understand explanation as to why.
