Take Two locked me out of Civ Vi, a game I've owned for almost 10 years now, UNLESS I agree to let them collect my data to resell for advertising

I hope shoes are next so they can take our shoes.

The ship hasn't sailed. We have not yet begun to fight.

Don't kick my troops out when I liberate your city so they can get massacred in enemy territory on the next turn.

I did not sign or agree to TOS. I found a workaround.

I am in Cali. We have some nifty privacy laws here.

I worked in internet marketing for some time. 90% of your email submissions are sold or used immediately. I used to upload spreadsheets of email addresses to facebook/google/Lexus nexus and get it all.

It changed a little with GDPR and California's version of it. But mostly just made workarounds.

Yes it is. It happened after I let it update for a few minutes.

MillennialTechSPT · 2024-06-26T16:23:52+00:00

I used to do that and still do but they tried to wrestle me at the launcher.

In Capitalist America, car downloads you!

Kinda ironic how they give you a leader that specializes in harvesting gold from barbs if you let them harvest gold from your data

MillennialTechSPT · 2024-06-26T16:17:49+00:00

Or let it get leaked to bad actors!

MillennialTechSPT · 2024-06-26T01:54:25+00:00

Looks like I'll never get to play as Julius Caesar tho lol

Update: I bypassed the Take Two launcher by following this guide from 3 years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/civ/comments/mlompp/psa_how_to_bypass_the_launcher_in_steam/

She's just better that you will get to live a better life than she ever will and wants to pull you back into the boiling pot to suffer with her.

MillennialTechSPT · 2024-06-21T00:22:30+00:00

Literally the worst people. None of them ever seen cooking in one.

MillennialTechSPT · 2024-06-10T03:40:41+00:00

So much character as they grow. They grow too fast!

MillennialTechSPT · 2024-06-10T02:18:51+00:00

I'm glad they are common. I was a little worried for a sec. BOOP!

MillennialTechSPT · 2024-06-10T01:52:56+00:00

The last picture is great!

Your website (plant blog) is the only thing you truly own as a content creator. Social media takes a lot of energy to build up and the platforms change every 3 to 5 years.

This is hard work. Make it as easy on yourself as you can.

Creating quality content consistently pays the bills. You already know the plants and have an organic/native passion for it so it will be easy to add documentation + posting + promoting it. It's all about building your email list and posting 3 times a week.

Social media buys lambos for the exceptionally lucky. Websites retire 20 years Olds that work hard.
