Win10 plays the attention of pirated games. Users may not be able to run pirated games

Although Windows 10 was released smoothly, its new data collection strategy has caused more and more concerns. One concern is that Windows users may not fully comply with the law when it comes to their software licenses. It seems that Microsoft deliberately made the situation ambiguous and gave yourself enough room to do what they wanted to do.

But its latest updated Service Agreement may negatively impact this good growth momentum. Under the Service or Software section of the agreement, Microsoft will automatically check the user software and update it in real time. In some cases, these updates may even prevent users from running "pirated games".

One of the problems is that Microsoft will use new data collection strategies to combat pirated software. The Microsoft Service Agreement clearly states that Microsoft will check your system to see if users are playing pirated games or using unauthorized hardware peripherals. It’s a bit strange that Microsoft’s narrowing down on pirated software to games only in its agreement statement.

Maybe this part of the agreement is related to their xbox game console. Some gamers often crack the host to load pirated games. This situation is more common in the original Xbox. Now, Microsoft has the right to search for such cracks and disable these consoles to access Microsoft services. Because the language of these terms of service is so vague, it is unclear whether Microsoft plans to publish the pirated game information they collect, or they simply use the pirated content.

Another question is how Windows 10 will work across PCs, mobile phones, Xbox, HoloLens and surface Hub. End-user license agreements now require a lot of content to be written, including protection for stolen phones, Xbox modules, enterprise security, and the required updates. Unifying Windows 10 is a technical challenge, but now it seems to be a serious legal challenge that requires the consolidation of different license terms into a single agreement covering all different usage scenarios.

There is no doubt that Windows 10 created by Microsoft has been able to better fit the work of most users, but after Windows 10 is launched, they need to pay attention to communication with customers who have concerns. Windows 10 is great, but the outlook is still unpredictable. Microsoft needs to prevent these privacy issues from harming the image of Windows 10. So far, Microsoft has remained silent, but they need to clarify why they do it, what they are doing, and how users are affected.

The contents of the Service Agreement 7b are as follows:

“Sometimes you will need a software upgrade to ensure the use of the service. We may automatically check the version of your software and download software updates or configuration change files, including those that prevent you from accessing the service, running pirated games, or using unauthorized hardware peripherals. You may also receive a request to update the software to keep the service going. ”
