Transmission says as Borderlands Review Bombing continues

Gearbox Software has published a controversy about changes in parent company Take Take Two terms of service and fears that many Borderlands games now include “spyware.”

publishing Directly on the steamIf the outcry is achieved in the form of a review bomb movement for all major border champions, the purpose of the statement is to resolve the issue while “maintaining transparency and confidence with the community.” This means addressing two key topics that have taken over the border fan base in months, including concerns about spyware and modification crackdowns.

Gearbox has made its position clear from the outset: “Take-Two does not use spyware in the game.” Although data will be collected, Gearbox does not want players to worry that their private information can always be snapped up.

“Take-Two has identified these practices in its privacy policy to provide transparency to players and comply with their legal obligations,” said the gearbox's Steam statement. “Take-Two collects this information to provide its services to players, including protecting the gaming environment and the player's experience. You can read more about this information in the privacy policy.”

The statement continues: “For example, player and device identifiers are collected to some extent to ensure that the game is compatible with each player's media, platform, or website browser type. It enables us to better understand how players play the game and personalize the user experience (e.g., display username!). Account credentials are collected from users who choose “select”, which are chosen to be used with TakeTwo and Two and their Babelselels and their Babelselsels and ITS Babelsels.”

It is unclear whether the gearbox's explanation of Take-Two's terms of service is enough to calm those who held weapons after the February change of the agreement. Meanwhile, the studio's position on the modification scene is quite simple.

The statement states: “Using two-way terms of service prohibits users from gaining unfair advantages, negatively affecting other users’ ability to enjoy the game as expected, or allowing users to access content that users do not have permission to access.” “We do this to protect the integrity of the gaming experience for all users.”

As Gearbox said, Take-Two’s main concern is that it’s an experience for other players, a direct response to the impact that the layoff community may have on any modification activity, which is the impact on any modification activity. The statement even said that the transmission's parent company “usually does not seek to take action on mods that are only single-player, non-commercial commercial and respect their tags and third-party intellectual property (IP) rights.”

Uproar began around May this year when fans caught the wind of Take-Two’s update of its terms of service, affecting many of its existing titles. Rumors that the company is preying on user data quickly caught fire, leading to an action that is the latest reviews of Border Area 1, Border No 2 and Border No 3 tanks, trapped in the “main negative” and “overwhelming negative” areas. Although the second half of May has faded Fear is kicked up again when Borderlands 2 is freely reserved (Limited time) June 5th.

Currently, the latest reviews of Steam from the No Congress series are still firm and firm. At the same time, the gearbox is being delivered Border 4 This September. You can view the latest news and some gameplay by reading Everything announced in the April 2025 Game Status Presentation.
