    I'd take a guess that most people who are outraged by this are already on social media such as Facebook, Pinterest or Twitter, or have free email accounts with Hotmail or Gmail, etc., so have already authorized the use of some personal information for marketing purposes anyway.

    I don't see anything out of the ordinary in that policy, just go the opt out route if you do not want junk mail.

    You know those reward cards that you get from stores that give you discounts on your purchases?

    They use them to collect your buying preferences and sell the info to third parties.

    You must admit it's great banter just taking the mick out of it.

    There was a post earlier that I participated in and during it someone pointed this out half way through. At the time people believed they'd start seeing ads in game and stupid things like that. I thought I'd get creative.

    "Gamers hate this company! Zenimax have discovered a new way to ruin the content you love!"

    "Click here to see how they did it!"

    I guess you need to have the right taste in humour. Unfortunately this forum is just full of people creating endless waves of nerf posts and the occasional idiot bringing up social issues with no merit to them.

    Oh well. Tiss the internet.

    Its going to be interesting to see what they are going to advertise. I suppose music and movie could work for everybody, go figure.

    I dont mind them making extra money, for sure.
