Der ein oder andere kennt bereits den neuen Game-Onlineshop von EA namens Origin. Origin ähnelt der Steam-Plattform – man kauft online die Spiele und lädt sie dann direkt runter. Sollte eigentlich jedem bekannt sein. Interessant sind aber die Allgemeinen Geschäftsbedingungen bzw. “EULA” des neuen Services von EA.

Wer plant Origin zu nutzen, der sollte sich die einzelnen Klauseln eventuell näher anschauen – vor allem wenn er Wert auf Datenschutz und Privatsphäre legt. Im Detail findet man folgenden Absatz:

2. Consent to Collection and Use of Data.

You agree that EA may collect, use, store and transmit technical and related information that identifies your computer (including the Internet Protocol Address), operating system, Application usage (including but not limited to successful installation and/or removal), software, software usage and peripheral hardware, that may be gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, dynamically served content, product support and other services to you, including online services. EA may also use this information combined with personal information for marketing purposes and to improve our products and services. We may also share that data with our third party service providers in a form that does not personally identify you. IF YOU DO NOT WANT EA TO COLLECT, USE, STORE, TRANSMIT OR DISPLAY THE DATA DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION, PLEASE DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE APPLICATION. This and all other data provided to EA and/or collected by EA in connection with your installation and use of this Application is collected, used, stored and transmitted in accordance with EA’s Privacy Policy located at www.ea.com. To the extent that anything in this section conflicts with the terms of EA’s Privacy Policy, the terms of the Privacy Policy shall control.

An sich ist so etwas nichts ungewöhnliches. Auch Steam hat eine ähnliche Klausel. Diese lautet im Detail:

“store information on a user’s hard drive that is used in conjunction with online play of Valve products. This includes a unique authorization key or CD-Key that is either entered by the user or downloaded automatically during product registration. This authorization key is used to identify a user as valid and allow access to Valve’s products. Information regarding Steam billing, your Steam account, your Internet connection and the Valve software installed on your computer are uploaded to the server in connection with your use of Steam and Valve software.

Wie so oft sind hier aber Details wichtig. Steam bzw. Valve beschränkt sich nur auf Daten, die mit dem eigenen Produkt zusammenhängen. EA hingehen darf die gesamte Festplatte scannen und diese Daten an Dritte weitergeben – natürlich bleibt man dadurch komplett anonym, so jedenfalls steht es in den AGBs. Pustekuchen zusammen mit den persönlichen Daten bekommt man auch hier vermutlich die beste Werbung geschaltet.

Leider werden einige Spiele exclusiv nur über Origin vertrieben, darunter zum Beispiel Battlefield 3 oder Mass Effect 3. Das bedeutet, dass Fans mehr oder weniger gezwungen werden, diesen AGBs zuzustimmen.

Wenn wir aber komplett ehrlich sind, dann weiß jeder von uns, dass niemand wirklich die langen Texte liest, die genau definieren, was eine Software/Unternehmen darf und was nicht. Es ist einfach nervig. Daher wird auch dieses Thema komplett an den meist jungen Gamern vorbeigehen.

Alles in allem, finden wir jedenfalls, ist das ganze schon ein starker Eingriff in die Privatsphäre. Ich würde niemals irgendeiner Software erlauben meine gesamte Festplatte abzuscannen und Daten dann ins Internet zu schicken. Es gibt Daten, die sind nur für meine Augen bestimmt und nicht für die von irgendwelchen EA-Praktikanten, denen langweilig ist.
