The classic shooting “Sap the Treasure” game “The Land of No Owners” 2″ is now free of charge in steam, and by 12 June the player will only have access to Steam’s account and will have permanent ownership of the game and all its DLC content by clicking “Add to the Library”. However, the recent changes made by 2K Games to the EULA (End-User Licensing Agreement) series of The Land of Not Owners have led to controversy among players, many of whom have warned to “leave off” the series.

Homeless Land II was widely commended for its unique cartoon style, rich gun system and collaborative play, with a cumulative assessment of nearly 288,000 articles on Steam, with an overall assessment of “specially good” and a 93 per cent positive rating, a well-deserved classic.However, less than 18 per cent of the more than 4,000 recent evaluations have been positive, and recent evaluations have fallen to a “poor rating”.This negative trend began on or about 20 May 2025, when its assessment area was opened free of charge, which was further exacerbated by the influx of negative responses.
The negative surge in the No Lord Land 2 assessment was not due to the content of the game or to server problems, but to the key changes made by its parent company, Take-Two, to its service terms in February this year. In their assessments, the players pointed to several problems, including the ban on the use of modules (mods), the changeor and the VPN by EULA. However, the main controversy repeatedly mentioned in the social media was the fear among players that Take-Two, 2K Games and Gearbox were collecting data and private information.
“One of the best games ever. But I can’t recommend it to anyone right now, because the issuer has added spy software to the updated EULA, and you have to accept it to start the game,” says Steam. “This is called compulsory arbitration and is one of the least likely means of normalizing the evils. I will not turn it into a good one unless it is fixed. It is a pity that I have played and enjoyed all the landless games on a number of devices, but it may not have been touched for a long time, including Landless Land 4.”
Another hot topic noted that it was not surprising that the issuer had changed the service terms for a game that had been sold for nearly 13 years, and that if the developer could modify the service terms so easily, the consumer would also be entitled to refund. Other players emphasize that Land without Homes is a game of relative leisure, one-person and cooperative experiences. In the absence of a substantial competitive multi-player model, there is no reason why Take-Two should fear that the cheater will influence the experience of ordinary ” landless ” players.
The updated service terms of Take-Two can also be seen in other games under the 2K Games, including the original No Lord Land and No Lord Land 3, which have also been subjected to unacceptable “bad bombing”. Almost all users see EULA as the reason for their “defeating”. In the Steam assessment area of the series, a list of specific grievances that have been copied has emerged, including concerns about the collection of sensitive information by Take-Two, such as name, e-mail address, IP address, bill details, telephone numbers, etc.
Randy Pitchford, the developer of Homeless Land, responded in the social media last week to “uplift the player’s experience” and “compliance with global data protection regulations and no spy software”. According to 2K Games, the data collected is mainly used to optimize game performance, individualized recommendations and advertising, and the player can opt out of partial data sharing by setting. However, players do not buy this explanation and consider the data “lack of transparency”.
But there are also players who understand Randy Pitchford’s response, who think that they are a little overresponsive to the changes to Take-Two’s provisions. It was clarified that EULA had remained largely unchanged over the years, even though previous updates already contained several provisions that were of concern to players. Reddit commented: “You must be overreacting, and EULA and the 2018 version are almost nothing different. The reaction was so intense that it was instigated by some of the title parties.”
It is not yet clear how substantially the services provisions of Take-Two in February have changed, but it is clear that the game community is no longer inclusive and that developers have lost some of their trust, regardless of whether or not the players are over-repeated.
Homeless Land 4 confirms that it will go on board the PC, PS5 and XSX/S platforms on 12 September and will be released in NS2 and that, if Take-Two does not ease the player ‘ s concerns about privacy, among other things, it may have an impact on the sales of Homeless Land 4.
