I already bought a copy of the game.
You cannot force me to accept the new TOS or privacy policy and force exit the game if I wouldn't.
Even if someone disagree, they have to click "Agree" to play.

If you have played the game before then you have already agreed to those conditions by simply playing the game. As the previous poster says now they are forced to ask you explicitly, so the next game you buy you will be asked to accept those terms again, if you don't agree then you cant play the game and so you get a refund.

The new TOS is because of the new European data protection laws.
If you disagree, CO can't comply with the law, and are legally forced to deny you access to their product.

So they have to force you to choose. Because if they don't, they're breaking the law. It's that simple.

For the record, remember that EULA everyone always skips? Exact same thing. If you say no, you can't play. Nothing has changed, other than the fact the law requires companies to inform users of it again now that the new law is in effect.
