So I attempted to fire up War Robots a little bit ago and was prompted to agree to the TOS again. I found this a bit strange (I didn't have to when I returned to the game), so I started reading. I only got through ~1/3 of it. Now maybe I just haven't read enough TOS's over the years, but some of what I came across I found to be a bit concerning.
Takeaway: we are collecting your PII including potentially your name, photograph, and "other additional data"
Takeaway: Information created by the user -- including info you post in any game forums and/or chat rooms -- can be available to some or all other users of your Services. Note that they don't specify what all the services are of the company.
Takeaway: Data is obtained by 3rd parties including social network id, app store ids, social network nickname, email & friends list is collected when you connect a social account.
Takeaway: Your nickname and other info can be made available to all Service users. Because we have your PII, we can make that public and may become available to other Service users and internet users and be copied and/or disseminated by those users. You will not be able to delete this data.
Takeaway: We're going to hold onto your data as long as we want to to do whatever we say we're doing to justify having it and we will hold it as long as we can justify it.
Now, I certainly understand and accept the reality that anything you post on the internet is out of your control. That's just fact. The way I read the total tie-in, though, is that if they can make any half-baked flimsy justification to get any and all of your info they will and can do whatever they want with it because you agreed to the TOS.
I can't say I'm comfortable with that.

I’m glad you guys are on top of things. I just figured there was a patch so I didn’t bother reading it. Thanks for the post. I may read it in detail later.

Eh, seems like typical corporations selling your information stuff to me. Basically every free service these days does this: rather than paying them with money, you pay them with information! I’m personally more interested in the talks about them covering up any liability regarding them falsely advertising their equipment (they sell it as powerful, but fully intend in nerfing it) to boost sales.
