Borderlands games are still being review bombed on Steam following Take-Two terms of service backlash, but modders say "the main clause everyone's freaking out about was already there"

One of the biggest controversies currently rocking the Borderlands community stems from an update to Gearbox and 2K owner Take-Two Interactive's privacy policy and terms of service, which has led some fans to worry about the collection of their personal data, among other concerns. However, two prominent modders are now trying to reassure fans that the situation might not be as concerning as it first appeared.

Although Take-Two's latest update to its terms of service and privacy policy was released in February, concerns were raised among fans only recently, when they were greeted with the agreements upon loading their Borderlands games. These have ranged from concerns about the collection of data, such as accounts and telephone numbers, to more extreme allegations that the games could somehow function like "spyware" if users agree to the updated terms.
