No guessing is required, the actual EULA is available to be read: https://store.steampowered.com//eula/49520_eula_0 (assuming the correct EULA is being linked from the store page edit: ..which may not be the case based on the last-updated date (maybe Steam doesn't have the current version?)

Based on what I'm seeing here so far, I would describe that review's language as sensationalist

edit2: based on the available information (namely frames from the video sparking the backlash) this IS the same EULA that's being blasted, so my original comment stands

edit3 electric boogaloo: people are calling it "the EULA" but it seems like the main contention is over the privacy policy (with just some of the modding stuff etc being in the EULA): https://www.take2games.com/privacy/en-US/

Man I'm so fucking tired of this sensationalist bandwagoning part of the internet. Turns out changing the platform to fedi/threadi doesn't solve the problem because it's fundamentally the people that are the problem 🙃

I stand corrected

by posting a comment supported by sources

I have literally linked:

the updated EULA
the updated Privacy Policy
records of when the game was updated
an article discussing the changes

jesus christ lol, the root level comment saying "Borderlands 2 recently had a rootkit added to it" is not supported by any of the available evidence but is STILL getting promoted here and elsewhere (like the Steam reviews) despite all of the above - so no, piss off dude, I HAVE posted comments supported by sources - they're just being ignored by you and others

Sorry mate I failed to pick out your user name and thought you just tagged on with only that comment.

I've rescinded mine
