You want to know waht my hardware is.

[ossied]

I am ok with a general information gathering but I WILL NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION IF YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE MY MAC ADDRESS< YOU ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CRIMINAL SCUMBAG C__TS.
I will remind valve that in Australa the federal states it is the property owner who has the authority fro access past the socket, BE very careful, if you have another survey and the MAC Address is not left out , i will be taking this matter to the ACCC, and cyber crimes division of the AFP.

You do not have any rights on my private property, Signing an EULA only protects the software vendor`s software, it does give access rights to private property.
I am getting sick and tired of criminal scumbags at valve.

You didn't search this topic even a little bit before getting all accusative?

Regardless of whether you participated in this *anonymous* hardware survey or not, your privacy is fine. Take a deep breath.

So I'm just putting this down, everyones IP address is public. Seriously go to google and just type in "My IP" and you'll be informed of it.

The fact you think such easily accessable and public information is remotely private is rather funny.

... The survey is optional. You can always say "No" to it.

Thing is that he said MAC Address, which for the record is literally Local and Physical IP numbers, the dude literally does not even need to do the survey to start with as IP's literally can be googled with "My IP" and google will bluntly inform you of what your IP is.

Like I dont think this dude gets how IPs work because whether if he does them or not is literally meaningless anyways.

I agree, but that isn't the point I was trying to make.

They could have simply not done the survey if they really had an issue with giving said information, regardless of what information it is.

A MAC address isn't identifiable as explained here[superuser.com].

Don't worry everyone, OP is going to take it to the proper authorities.

Nothing to see here, move along. /nelsonlaugh

Holy crap dude. You're making us look bad.

[Mad Scientist]

It's simply showing you what can be collected, it isn't sent or stored without you ultimately deciding to opt-in and choose to send anything in. Even then they still have protections. Try to be less accusatory and more understanding of the word voluntary.

[Satoru]

Its sort of hilarous people are whining about MAC addresses when they are barely usable as identifiers. They're only good as collision prevention but not much else.

In Australia the only people than give authorisation past the socket is the property owner , not some nazi piece of crap software owner in the US ,china or russia etc.
That is the law, its part of the federal telecommunications legislation, SO you might want do some research into Australian law before you go shooting mouth of while your head is up your mullock pass.
This would not be the first or even the 20th time VALVE has had to be reminded Australian telecommunication law is not to be ignored.
Valve has been taken to court quite a few times bye the ACCC in Australia , so stop sucking vale penis please especially when you spew vitriol at me through the platform.
