Hi.
I recently played some Pinball FX on Steam. In doing so I came across some really unhappy users in the Discussions area.
Basically they are not able to use the game unless they accept new license agreement terms. The new terms were forced upon them after they bought the game and loads of DLC tables.
Personally I don't spend time reading through these, I have hundreds of Steam games, maybe I should!?
The forum thread is here

I actually do want to play this game that I paid money for, it's pretty good!
I uninstalled it when reading this thread. For all I know it may have installed tools that scan your machine for cracked games as this is what the new EULA is stating. Not really sure if they are still there on uninstalling the game. They could be disguised as Windows processes for instance.
Reading further in the thread the first set of new EULA terms stated that your data was being collected and given to 3rd parties. I mean seriously, what the hell!?!? The current new EULA suggests that the data recorded is only for Zen's (the game owner) use.
TBH, The situation is crap. I wonder if there are other games that have this in the EULA? Is this something that will become more common?
apologies if I have understood the situation incorrectly here... but this is how it is reading to me!
