I gave up a month ago after ~200 hours, and deleted the game 2 weeks ago. The patch description is unappealing. In Civ4 I had to play my best on Emperor. In Civ6, with Deity level, even with handicapping myself by: -razing and rebuilding all captured cities -never accepting peace from wars...

Never mind. I later noticed that all Great Prophets were claimed, so that must by why the policy for getting them was made obsolete. It's truly a feature not a bug :) Apologies to all, especially the Firaxis folks (Great Game, by the way!) I wish I could edit the subject line, or better...

Xteam you are a class act. Salute!

Define 'voluntary'. It can mean anything from simply by installing steam (which is 'voluntary') to there being a pop-up that says 'Warning PII request, you may opt-out'. We don't know how they define 'voluntary'. Voluntary doesn't necessarily mean that we'll know when/what PII is...

This shows you are one of the reasonable/responsible folks and why your views merit consideration. Good job! :beer: Given that you're a smart guy, your posts and logic/rhetoric are generally pretty good and you've obviously been reading many/most of the posts here -- that makes this...

I'm not calling you a jerk. I am saying that that is a jerk thing to say. Shame on you Sir.

I wonder how many take2 employees were laid off... /sarcasm

Greg's responsibility is to the folks who sign his paycheck, and anyone who depends on him for their food/housing/clothing/etc. You need to work on your 'identify friend or foe' skill. You can't win a battle when you misidentify your 'foe'. Aim your ire at those responsible for what you...

Agreed. Greg is just a regular person like us, trying to earn a living. He can report only what they let him, in as friendly/innocuous way as possible. He's really in a lose-lose here -- answer too much and those answers generate more questions and complaints. Answer too little and that...

Oo Oo I know the answer. First, I fully support your right to ask that question. Now on to the answer, which is: "on account of because". It's the same answer dad used to give when, as a kid, I asked stupid questions. Since when did folks have an intrinsic right to collect personally...

With all respect - no you don't. Your own post shows you don't know. For example you quote Valve's privacy policy where it states "Personally identifiable information" consists of a user's name, email address, physical address, or other data about the user that enables the recipient to...

This is what you should have replied when I first challenged your statement, instead of saying "If you think theres any cause for doubt that this is the case, you should show your sources before we should even start thinking it might be otherwise." When you make a claim it's up to you to back...

Since we don't know what info valve collects you're just making stuff up. This is the fallacious argument Moving the Goalposts. You said: "You're going to have to show more clearly where Valve shares PII with third parties " I 'showed you more clearly' just that by quoting (and linking to)...

Strawman. What the entertainment-as-a-service thing "...have to do with..." is you being wrong when you said Commander Bellow was wrong -- Bello was right, and the links I provided are proof.

Strawman. It's what unspecified PII they collect, who they share it with, and what uses it's put to. That's what we're asking -- what unspecified PII they collect, who they share it with, and what uses it's put to. We're asking how they define PII, what they collect, who they share it with...

No it says "...Personally identifiable information protected under this privacy policy and collected from users may be done in conjunction with associates..." -- _in conjunction with_ valve, not separately. Oops! It means exactly what I said it does. Readers can decide for themselves what...

Valve still sells games but Commander Bello is correct, and your disagreeing with him regarding that is yet another point you're wrong about. Notes from Newell's keynote address to DICE 2009 from MTV Multiplayer: Video game companies acting as "entertainment companies": Newell said he is...

First: "...Valve may collect aggregate information, individual information, and personally identifiable information...". So valve doesn't just have info we 'give' them in voluntary surveys and the like, they can 'take' PII from us -- for example by recording our IP addresses and times we...

The very link you provide has this info: "Personally identifiable information protected under this privacy policy and collected from users may be done in conjunction with associates under agreement with Valve... Valve's privacy policy does not extend to associates of Valve." Oops! You...
