yah but read the tos, it *does* grant the corp the power to mine that data, so I don’t see the objection to humdog here. Whether you think that is a good thing or a bad thing it is a thing that you sign away to EA.

i think the point that people are missing here is that the collection of personal information in web-based applications is NOT limited to credit card numbers and addresses. behavior and language is tracked IN GAME. an individual’s behavior and language and communications are considered personal information and the TOS grants the corporation permission to collect that behavior, language, etc., information.

Well said Coco, and Prokofy.

Someone, in talking to Prokofy in another thread, mentioned a Tin Foil Hat. From what i just read, the level of Paranoia demonstrated tends to clearly indicate to whom the tin foil hat should go.

The TOS is provided to regulate the game environment so we all have a more enjoyable experience In Game. The “Personal Information” is no more than is required for the service provider to determine that the player is the rightful account holder, and allows them to properly bill the account holder for services rendered.
The only ones who Really seem to find living under a TOS intolerable are those who would try to benefit most in the absence of one by Victimizing everyone within thier reach. These people try to cover their intent with a great deal of Pseudo-political Clap-Trap. or Psychobabble, but what it comes down to is, the rules don’t let them behave like Antisocial Jackasses, They view the TOS as against them, so they are against the TOS.

humdog, they don’t actually see your credit card, you dolt. it goes threw a secure server directly to your credit card company. the only thing that they can see is the last four digits, which is used to confirm you are you, when you call up.

Y’all’s smug, superior attitude prevents good conversation about anything, and also prevents you learning anything.

i like this statement lots:
“…i don’t tell my personal information in game…all they know is what i like and do not like…”

and of course when you got your sims account, you didn’t tell them your name or give them your credit card information etc etc etc. of course not. and they’re not smart enough to connect you to your account either, ian. is that what you think?

yep. got work to do. shrink heads. yum.
