not sure i understand correctly. so when you install the game, it asks you for a whole bunch of private info before you can install and play??
As you go through the installation wizard you are asked if you agree with the terms and conditions and almost everyone does not read these and automatically clicks "agree". Well it seems people have started to read them and they are going mental about a particular paragraph:
"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."
They basically want to know stuff that is nothing to do with them. If you want to play the game then you must agree to be spied on by them. The Amazon page:

Aparently the game is good but many are saying its not THAT good to allow EA to snoop on stuff that doesn't concern them, everyone is screaming spyware. Apparently the game is incredibly difficult to remove from a pc as well and EA mean it when they say get a specialist to remove the manual elements of the game/spyware. One comment actually states they have isolated the "infected" pc as it is so difficult to remove and it is no longer used for any personal use. This Origin thing has been slammed as well.
In a nutshell they want to spy on everything you have and do on the pc, including other programs, movies, websites, etc. I was looking forward to it but I won't be buying it now.
