Response to Recent Community Concerns About Take-Two’s Terms of Service

[Borderlands]

Hi everyone -

We know there have been some concerns from fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns.

(1) Take-Two Does Not Use Spyware
Take-Two does not use spyware in its games. Take-Two’s Privacy Policy applies to all labels, studios, games, and services across all media and platform types such as console, PC, mobile app, and website. The Privacy Policy identifies the data activities that may be collected but this does not mean that every example is collected in each game or service.

Take-Two identifies these practices in its Privacy Policy to provide transparency to players and comply with its legal obligations. Take-Two collects this information to deliver its services to players, including to protect the game environment and player experience. You can read more about this in the Privacy Policy.

For example, player and device identifiers are collected in part to ensure the game is compatible with each player’s media, platform or website browser type. It allows us to better understand how players play games, and to personalize the user experience (like having usernames show up!). Account credentials are collected from users who choose to create accounts with Take-Two and its labels.

(2) Take-Two Does Not Permit Abusive Mods
Take-Two’s Terms of Service prohibit mods that allow users to gain an unfair advantage, negatively impact the ability of other users to enjoy the game as intended, or allow users to gain access to content that the user is not entitled to. We do this to protect the integrity of the game experience for all users. Take-Two generally does not seek to take action against mods that are single-player only, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of its labels and third parties.

针对最近关于Take-Two服务条款社群讨论的回应
大家好 -
我们了解到《无主之地》的粉丝们对Take-Two的服务条款存在一些担忧，维持社区的公开透明和获得玩家信任始终是我们的目标，所以我们想通过这次回应来为大家消除这些忧虑。
(1) Take-Two 不使用间谍软件
Take-Two不在其游戏中使用间谍软件。Take-Two的隐私政策适用于所有厂牌、工作室、游戏以及所有媒介和平台类型（如主机、PC、移动应用和网站）上的服务。隐私政策列明了可能收集的数据，但这不意味着在您使用服务或者游玩游戏时这些数据都会被收集。
Take-Two在其隐私政策中列明这些做法是为了对玩家保持坦诚和透明，也为了履行其法律义务。Take-Two收集这些信息是为了向玩家提供服务，包括保护游戏环境和玩家体验。您可以阅读隐私政策以获取更多相关信息。
例如，收集玩家和设备标识符的部分原因是为了确保游戏与每位玩家的媒介、平台或网站浏览器类型兼容。这让我们能更好地了解玩家如何进行游戏，并个性化用户体验，比如更好地确保玩家用户名可以在各个平台正确显示。并且，收集的账号资料来源于用户在创建Take-Two和其相关游戏账号的过程中自行填写。
(2) Take-Two 不允许模组滥用
Take-Two的服务条款禁止让用户获得不公平优势、对其他用户游戏体验产生负面影响，或允许用户访问其无权获取的内容的模组。我们这样做是为了保护所有用户的游戏体验。Take-Two通常不会对仅限单人游戏、非商业性质且尊重其厂牌和第三方知识产权(IP)的模组进行干预。
