“The Privacy Policy identifies the data activities that may be collected but this does not mean that every example is collected in each game or service.”
That’s pretty vague. is this statement supposed to make the community feel better?
Exactly! Want to be transparent? List everything that every specific game collects.
too much text to just trying to say directly “we don’t collect data”. They are collecting data. A lot.
What are they collecting? I read the post and nothing really stuck out to me, it’s vague. Sounds like this has been going on for a while, I don’t know the other context.
“We’re putting cameras in every room of your house, but we pinky promise to only ever look at the feed from the kitchen.”
More like “we reserved the right to put a camera into every room in your house, but so far we have only done the kitchen.” I mean the probably will do it to all new games they release too.
My solution? Run Linux. If the game won’t run on Linux because of kernel level anticheat bullshit, DRM, or lack of proton support, refund that shit and never purchase a game from that developer again. If they do data collection, and it still runs on Linux, it is my understanding that all they can gather is what the proton compatibility layer feeds them, which is basically fiction. Proton is already tricking the software into thinking it’s running on windows, and is sandboxed from your bare metal system. Correct me if I’m wrong.
The games I already owned before my time with Linux? Whatever. I’ll take the loss. I’ll probably never play PUBG again and I’m fine with that.
We aren’t putting literal Spyware into your computer. We are just putting the functional equivalent of spyware into your computer through your video game.
Hello, we’d like to address the resoundingly negative feedback from everyone:
- We’re not changing anything, we’re still allowed to install spyware on your computer.
- We don’t care what you think.
- We want to police what mods you install IN A CO-OP GAME.
Thread locked.
When any game changes ToS, the refund window should reset.
