    Well at least there is an official response...

    Also that makes sense why I keep seeing advertisements for Summerset even though I have already purchased it and tied it to my account. Not sure which is more annoying, the advertisement when I open the game or the fact that I see advertisements all over my internets...

    Could they at least add some variety to their advertisements, maybe just a picture of cute baby guar that pops up every once in a while?

    To be fair, the Summerset ads are probably less precisely targeted than that.

    Have you actually read Clause 6 of the EULA?

    While I do not know what Redshell is, admittedly, we all had to agree to the EULA which includes the "Consent to Monitor" clause. Are you surprised, honestly, that they would use a program toward this end?

    Greetings, since there was a public statement made on the Redshell program in another thread, we have decided to close this one. You can read more on this topic here. Thank you for your understanding.
