The walls are closing in, for sure. Vendors, not just game makers, now trying to create a de-facto 'right' to monitor consumer's usage of their (and even other) wares. They know that users blithely click through EULAs which _should_ spark outrage in the consumer. But nobody reads them, everyone accepts them -- and a de facto expectation to be monitored is established.
I've waited for years for Consumer revolts...I've learned, sadly though, they don't happen.
Good for you (the submitter) for pointing this out, though.
