[quote][b]Warning: Third Party Account[/b] This game requires you to create a third party "Hochschule Darmstadt - Scientific Data Collection" account... there's no valid reason for this in a PC game when SteamWorks is available. This is often done to harvest private data and profile you, with potential sale and transmission of your private data to third parties. The developers will probably argue that you can trust them, but if they were trustworthy they wouldn't demand you create a third party account.
