 "EA to Ship Spyware With BF 2142")
Electronic Arts (EA) is packaging mandatory Spyware along with their retail copies of Battlefield 2142, with a slip of paper that’s acting as a disclaimer stating that the package contains software that records ‘anonymous’ information about the user’s surfing habits and IP address etc. and sends it back to the ad companies so that they can customize ads according to your preferences.
Thanks, but no thanks EA, I like my games relatively ad and spyware free. In my opinion this was a completely unnecessary move on EA’s behalf that will make their largely crappy titles even less appealing. Way to go tards…
