[Vlasterx]

Evo šta će vas sačekati ako kupite BF2142:

Šta reći dalje sem... I ain't bying this sh*t

Ono što zaista iritira kod cele ove situacije je što ovo obaveštenje ne možeš da pročiaš nigde dok ne kupiš samu igru.

Bas su mangupi, ubacuju spyware u Battlefield, ajde da je neka low-budget igra, pa i nekako.

 

[3dfx]

Uh sto im je dobar fazon! A ko zna koliko nekih sra*** ubace a da mi ne znamo.... Ostale igre i njihovi zastitni sistemi...

Kao da je neki problem zabraniti igri izlaz na net. A i stvarno ne vidim ništa strašno u tom špijuniranju. Zbog čega se svi plašite? Šta toliko bitno imate na kompu i kuda se to krećete a da to niko nesme da zna? Na koji način će to vas oštetiti? Slažem se da je ovo glupost. Sa ovim samo potenciraju da bf fans nabave piratsku verziju igre koja će garant biti oslobođena od tog ******.

Verovatno ce biti moguce filtrirati na samom firewall-u (ko ima i koristi nesto drugo od Windows Firewall-a ) saobracaj ka adresama servera sa kojima komunicira, ali sta da rade oni manje vicni?!

Znao sam da sam to trebao da naglasim. Tnx.

To podjednako ima smisla kao i ovo:

IF YOU DO NOT WANT IGA TO COLLECT, USE, STORE OR TRANSMIT THE DATA DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, DO NOT INSTALL OR PLAY THE SOFTWARE ON ANY PLATFORM THAT IS USED TO CONNECT TO THE INTERNET.

[NaMDaM]

Baš sam razmišljao da odvojim pare za BF, ali posle ovoga....
Najverovatnije mi i ne bi smetalo to oglašavanje u igrama, ali je stvar principa, treba da ima dam repa da bi mi oni ubacivali reklame u igru! Ako je tako, treba onda igra da bude free, pa cepajte reklame do mile volje.
Ovako, nema šanse!

 

[deka]

Ovi su gori od M$ :shock:

 

[Falcon]

Samo je pitanje vremena kad ce i M$ da doda feature u Vistu, dok gledamo boot logo, idu reklame tipa "To improve Vista experince, buy a (Dell, HP, Lenovo...) brand-name computer"

A ti izdvoji pare za Battlefield 2, po svemu sudeci poslednju non-ad igru iz EA (pogledajte samo NHL, NFL, NBA, Fifa i sl. serijale), koji ce se definitivno jos dugo, dugo igrati!

Electronic Arts statement (unedited):

The advertising program in Battlefield 2142 does not access any files which are not directly related to the game. It does not capture personal data such as cookies, account login detail, or surfing history.

BF 2142 delivers ads by region. The advertising system uses a player's IP address to determine the region of the player, assisting to serve the appropriate ads by region and language. For instance, a player in Paris might be presented with ads in French. The information collected will not be repurposed for other uses.

Battlefield 2142 also tracks "impression data" related to in-game advertisements: location of a billboard in the game, brand advertised, duration of advertisement impression, etc. This information is used to help advertisers qualify the reach of a given advertisement.

BF2142 'Spyware' Explained

October 18, 2006 - Gamers got into a great big hissy-fit this past week over news that Battlefield 2142 would come with "spyware" that was supposedly going to rip machines apart for info to send back to the in-game advertising corporation, IGA. Well, as is the case with most e-dramas, the situation was totally blown out of proportion as the "spyware" only checks which country IPs originate from to serve region-specific adverts, and then in-game only reports whether players look at the adverts and for how long.

Specifically, IGA's software uses the IP address for geotargeting of in-game ads (so that European ads are not shown to those in the U.S., for example). It also creates a unique user number that's generated locally, and is able to re-identify the gamer when he next appears online.

In addition, IGA's in-game ad solution does capture the time of day that the user started to play each gaming session - Townsend mentioned, as an example, that "if the brief says 'Males 18 to 34'", the ads may only be served between 6pm and 9pm on a weekday evening or similar, to replicate 'primetime' viewing.

The time that each ad impression takes place is also recorded by IGA, alongside what type of ad content it was (billboard, megaboard, or video stream), the duration (how long was the ad seen for), the size of the ad relative to the player, and the angle of deflection (what angle the ad is viewed at).

Ovo me bas nasmejalo...

Hey man, if EA Games wants to advertise for reality porn and hentai anime in their video games, by all means please install spyware on my system. For extra points, include free 7-day trial on each site advertised.

Even better: Dad looks at pr0n late at night, gets his surfing habits logged, and then Junior plays the games and sees billboards for "Titties Galore!". At least porn will be treated at the same level as violence in this country, rather than the current standard of Junior being able to kill people in full gore with no reprisal, but a seeing an unclad breast will cause him irreparable harm...

I always love to have as many backround processes running as possible!

So this is why they need dualcore for the new games...

Razumeo bih da naprave odvojeno instalaciju sa i bez reklama, i da ova sa reklamama manje kosta! Kao sto je i slucaj sa mnoooogim programima, gde free verzija ima neko addware djubre, a ona koja se placa nema! Pa ko voli, nek izvoli.

 

[The pocetnik]

To je nova fora, em ti korisnik plati punu cenu igre, em jos extra zaradis od reklama.

Niko nije odusevljen...


To: EA Games
Starting with the release of Battlefield 2142, an online PC game, EA Games has begun incorporating the IGA software with their games. This is stated in a disclaimer accompanying Battlefield 2142:
“The Software may incorporate technology developed by IGA Worldwide Inc. ("IGA") (the "Advertising Technology"). The purpose of the Advertising Technology is to deliver in-game advertisements to you when you use the Software while connected to the Internet. When you use the Software while connected to the Internet, the Advertising Technology may record your Internet Protocol address and other anonymous information ("Advertising Data").”

Not only is it offensive enough that EA Games has decided to force adware into products that consumers pay a large price for (often $50 or more), they have further made things worse by giving this software the ability to spy on our computers. Although the information is submitted anonymously, it is still monitoring what we are using our computers for. The disclaimer is also extremely vague; giving no specification of any boundary EA has set.

Adware and spyware have often been proved to slow down computers. It is another unneeded piece of software constantly running in the background and consuming memory, CPU cycles, and internet bandwidth. If every company were to take from EA’s examples, our computers would be bloated to the point of barely being usable.

EA has not given us an option to opt out of this, and their only compromise so far is for us to not use the game on an internet connected computer. Seeing how consumers have paid for an internet enabled game and one that is primarily meant to be played on the internet, this is an extremely poor compromise.

As a result of these actions by EA, I am calling for a boycott of all EA Games which feature this software, namely Battlefield 2142. It is unacceptable to force spyware onto a user’s computer in order to use a product. A disclaimer included in the box does not make this okay. Especially after Sony’s Rootkit software, it is unacceptable for companies to be doing this.


Sincerely


PS.Jedino sto mene zabrinjava u svemu ovome je sto je "EA" Bog i batina i sto ce se i manji proizvodjaci ugledati na njih vrlo brzo...:wall:

 

[Dorry]
