A patch to Wrath of the Righteous introduced a 3rd-party analytics tool and a new EULA, but fans were having none of it.

    Well, it’s pretty shitty that they introduced it in the first place, but this is a great way to respond.

    Tbh, I could see a case where a new marketing exec asked for it to be added and the dev team hated the idea so had a rollback plan ready to go in case things went south.

    I am rather unimpressed that they were so comfortable over reaching on people’s personal data after I backed them in early development and have my name in the game.

    I won’t be doing that again despite their quick back down.

      I.wonder if you can ask for your money back and for your name to be removed.
