Utterly ridiculous for a singleplayer game. These aren’t even listed on the Steam store page. For some reason I thought id was better than this.

It’s blocked from firewall so I don’t think it’ll successfully call back home (unless they did some Steam networking trickery I guess). I just hate this bs on principle.

    They’re not enforceable, binding laws anyway. It’s a bunch of corporate CYA. They want to be able to tell a judge someday that they did everything they could to inform you of their business practices and get you to agree to use their product responsibly. The company’s chance of facing a court action is much higher than a user’s chance of being held to whatever they agreed by checking a box.
