    I think Valve should prohibit the addition of mandatory invasive 3rd party software after a limited window at launch. Unless they want to offer refunds and forfeit Steam’s cut I guess.

    It’s absolute horseshit that publishers can add all sorts of garbage years later that was in no way agreed to at the time of purchase.

    Edit: I guess in this case it’s not really 3rd party since it’s EA’s shit software, but the general point stands.

      Yeah automatic opt out refunds. Like if I want to keep it anyways I should be able to, but I should just by default get money back if my gaming knowingly broke on me.

      Fall guys comes to mind, I bought 3 times because i was having fun and wanted to share with friends, then they broke the game on me. Bait and switch

    I wish the loss of players would hurt them but I’m sure they’ve gathered it isn’t enough to worry about.
