Borderlands 4 devs assure Steam users that "Take-Two does not use spyware in its games" as Gearbox tries to avoid another review bombing over the parent company's unpopular new user agreement

Borderlands 4.

Borderlands 4 is finally here – Gearbox Software and 2K, a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, saw the release of the long-awaited action RPG yesterday… but already want to get ahead of any potential issues PC players may have with Take-Two's user agreement on Steam.

For anyone unaware, the Borderlands series was review bombed just months ago following a new user agreement from Take-Two. Fans dubbed the games "spyware," prompting Gearbox to respond and assure players that the holding company "does not use spyware" on Steam. It's been some time now, but the concerns are still fresh on some folks' minds – and the developer wants to put them to rest before a similar can of worms is opened with Borderlands 4.
