Borderlands 2 review bombed over EULA privacy fears: what's behind the backlash

A wave of negative Steam reviews hit Borderlands 2 after Take-Two updated the EULA across the series. Players say the terms allow invasive data collection and threaten mods, sparking privacy fears and a coordinated protest. Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford says there were no software-level changes, while Take-Two frames the update as anti-cheat and security. The backlash peaked during a free-on-Steam giveaway.
