#2"Fun fact : the filenames you’ll see in the game are lifted from your hard drive, and 8.3ified for formatting and retro-chic reasons!"
So in order to play the game it will scan my whole hard drive? In my point of view this is unacceptable. But i like the idea and the look of the game. Maybe i give it a shot in a VM environment...

That's a bit over dramatic don't you think?
If you have a real issue with that then you probably should take it up with the lack of sand-boxing / fine grained permission granting in general purpose computers.

It's not the first game to feature doing this and you certainly wouldn't play these kind of games without knowing that this is happening (since that's the main gimmick of these games) so you can't really complain about their behaviour when it's been made quite clear beforehand.
But if you really wanted to play this game without it viewing your porn collection / whatever, then you can always manage it with ACLs, chrooting or even virtualisation. It's not hard to sandbox processes and/or deny read access to specific sub-directories these days - even on home user orientated machines.

#8I did 3 searches and all of them said 100% on all the gold nodes. Pick one randomly and lost the game. I don't get what I was supposed to do

#9They should have given a shout-out to fsv, which you can still install and run on your Linux boxen to give you that Jurassic Park file navigation feel: http://fsv.sourceforge.net/

Except that...they did give a shout out to FSV?
