i hope they don't base too much on the forums (not the black-and-white stuff, if that must be said)... it's a very esoteric crowd with a narrow vision about what the game "should" be.
it's likely not a diverse crowd relative to all that play the game.. start to get group-think on some things, too. if i'm wrong, then it's a good resource for the more subjective choices about the future of the game.
i don't give info to any company/organization.. i paid enough already. i block the game in firewall, too. games that don't allow me to do so, i find a way to do so - lots of options out there even if you can't do it yourself. if it is mine i will do what i want with it regardless of an end-user agreement.
