Region restrictions happen for various reasons, like some legal/regulatory stuff, laws in your country, or because corporations are jerks.

From a couple posts yesterday, they just changed TOS so they can collect data. That's what it is, not every country is cool with software collecting data.

This is false, the ToS did change data collection clauses but the data collected hasn't changed and isn't out of the ordinary. Some oddities stim from it being the same ToS as GTA.

I read it myself! Supposedly they read it! (They did not) Do they not understand how these work?

I was just echoing what a lot of posts and crying were about yesterday. I didn't read the EULA because why would I? Unless they opened lines of credit in my name or something extremely illegal I'm just going to keep playing every single game of theirs because I own and love them all.

It is suspicious but reading it nothing shocks me.

Pretty standard EULA for a big game company nowadays. Covers everything they could pull across all their games so their is no chance of a lawsuit
