Battlefield 2142 May Include Spyware
EA has sunk to new lows. Slashdot is reporting that Battlefield 2142 will be including mandatory spyware that will monitor web surfing and other activities to deliver targeted in-game adveritsing.
Wow. Hey, EA? Remember the infamous Sony Rootkit? Guess not, because this is probably the one thing that could lower everyone’s opinion of EA even more. Did EA’s marketing people sit around discussing how they could drag their brand through the gutter even more?
It’s a fact of internet life that we get tracked and monitored and cookied into oblivion as it is, but if there’s one thing that people hate more than being spied on, it’s KNOWING that they’re being spied on. Good job EA, your ability to be complete morons never ceases to amaze us.
