You see, I just don’t think more honest wins us anything. I’ve seen too many „We value your privacy” popups already.

I think the old adage, "don't let perfect be the enemy of good" applies here. Some battles are fought one excruciating step at a time

What do you mean? What do privacy pop ups have to do with this?

It’s just like with cookies. I believe that lawmakers were honest and really wanted for companies to limit amount of tracking in the web. What we did get instead is a lot of „we value your privacy” popups and 5 pages of checkboxes to check if you don’t want to be tracked.

I just think that this will end up the same way. Nothing really changes, but we’ll just get more useless „lawyer talk” in more and more license documents to click on.

Instead of hidden sleaze it's now very much in your face.

> I just think that this will end up the same way.

What will change is that I will know not to buy games that don't have "Buy" button.
