Miki Fin Gallente Independant Union of Rangers	Posted - 2006.10.23 18:41:00 - [1] Originally by: Arkios Odymei People need to stop with the "ZOMG SPYWAREZ!!!" conspiracies about BF2142. Its already been stated officialy (several times) that the the only information the program gets is your IP to determine your geographical location (so they dont send you Euro-based ads if you are in the USA),and How long and at what angle you view the ads (to judge their effectivenes and to see if you actualy take the time to view it). It DOES NOT look at, nor does it care at all about: your cookies, your net surfing habits, your Social security number, your stash of horse-**, or who commented on your latest MySpace pic.... In fact it only runs while the game is running, being that it is part of the game itself. Ive been playing BF2142 for the past few days and I havent noticed any adds at all... and do you know why? Because Im too busy playing the game and NOT LOOKING FOR THEM! Again EA even said that they are being selective on which adds will run and is making sure that they should blend in with the settings of the environment. If you dont want to play a great game cause you are afraid some company will know all the secretes of the universe that you happen to keep on you computer, than so be it. If you boycott EA because of poor support of other games etc, Then sure, whatever. All I know is that I'll be having fun playing a great game. As for Eve, It is a totaly different story. It is set so far into the future (and so far away from our home star system/galaxy) that any ads for modern day merchendise would destroy any sense of Roleplaying. I myself enjoy RP'ing in Eve, and the Eve'verse is far too different from our modern day universe to support modern day ads. Agreed. I have yet to see any** statements from EA or any other reliable source that proves any website cookies or other personal info will be gathered other than whats officially stated within the 2142 box. What I'd like to know is how many people that are totally against this sort of thing use explorer, since EA doesnt strike me as a company to target the individual, but instead will aim for the masses. (Obligatory at this whole silly spyware scaremongering)
