Battlefield 2142 Spyware

[Big-Al]

Next to the fact that the day that BF2142 comes out the first patch gets immidiatly released, it has now also been confirmed that BF2142 includes spyware

Quote:Battlefield 2142 is starting to show up in stores left and right, and some early birds who managed to get their hands on a retail copy. Inside the box a slip of paper warns people that BF2142 will install monitoring software which reports \"anonymous\" information, such as IP and surfing habits, back to advertising companies in order to generate in-game ads in line with your possible purchasing interests. The flyer does say if you do not wish this to happen, to not install the game on an internet connected computer, which seems quite silly for a online multiplayer title.

This is the update they want gamers to uninstall:

Yeah this is just like advertising in games. EA will just use it to make more profit and not to make games cheaper.
