    Hm… Ok. Thats crazy. Someone wants to create a new branch of income it seems.

    Thats a fucking shame. Now I need to reconsider my plans to buy Borderlands4.

    But how will they do it? Which information is gathered from which source? Most of my accounts only hold as little informations as possible. Also my Os knows nothing about me. My MS account neither.

    On the other hand my steam 2FA need some mobile information.

      Unless you use Linux, your OS knows a ton about you. On top of that, with root access to your computer they can do whatever they want and if their system gets hacked you become a member of a bot farm or crypto mine.

        Well I use Linux, but not on my gaming pc. I would switch to it because its all amd, but I don’t want to because it lacks the driver suite for my gpu (adrenaline) and I don’t want to install a bunch of small applications to gain a small fraction of options it offers.

        It’s a pitty. Because I realy want to ditch windows since its newest iteration.
