EA Data Logging - Ambitions & Patch
Roobs:
Ah, I recall reading about this in some of the previews. Yeah, they want to harvest data on player's gameplay habits now.

Wait, what? Do you have a link to this? Because although I block internet connection for TS3, that is still way fucking creepy.
Roobs:
Well I'll go through and see which one it was, but one of them definitely mentioned about "Data Logging" and how it can be toggled through the Options menu. It's definitely very creepy. Not surprising though.
BriarRosethorn:
That is a gross invasion of privacy as far as I'm concerned, especially since they didn't warn us about that and ask our permission to log our data, first. They just did it. Most people wouldn't even realize their data was being logged and sent to EA if they didn't visit the Options panel in their game.
Will definitely be switching that off as soon as I get Ambitions.

I don't see the fuss. I've just applied the patch to my base game (no EPs yet), and Data Logging is disabled by default. You have to actually enable it yourself and the tooltip clearly states it sends anonymous data to EA.
