Borderlands 2 is temporarily free to grab on Steam, as it continues to be review bombed for non-Randy Pitchford tweet reasons (www.rockpapershotgun.com)

absolutely worth it to get, btw. still play it to this day.

Borderlands 3 has such insanely horrible writing though.

I suppose you didn’t hear about the new EULA for Take-Two/2K/Rockstar games eh?

Long story short they have explicit permission to install a root kit on your system which is a popular type of malware. If the developers knowingly install a root kit on your system and someone who is savvy enough decides to abuse it, well… let’s just say the outcome isn’t pretty for the end-user.

I love BL1 & BL2 but this is justification to put those games to rest or run them offline or in LAN, having a back door to people’s systems on any online game will backfire.

i know about that. i also know its quite overblown. their EULA is no different than all of them.

but no malware has been installed.

That’s quite an ignorant statement to make, just because you don’t care about what you sign up for doesn’t mean other’s don’t as well.

but no malware has been installed.

a root kit is quite literally a type of malware, you agreed to malware being installed to your machine at any point in time and if not when it does bite you in the ass you can’t sue for damages.

With your current mindset you might as well be on Reddit like all the other sheeple.
