but game companies also want to spy on you and potentially sell your data. Even if they aren’t selling it, the ability to do so increases the value to investors. This is the way tech companies talk about invasive usage in general, FWIW.

Data brokers do exist… Who they buy from is the only privacy they respect. You know, capitalism.

So by that logic we shouldn’t be downloading any precompiled binaries from the net - they could all be spying on us!
