Well, it’s pretty shitty that they introduced it in the first place, but this is a great way to respond.

Tbh, I could see a case where a new marketing exec asked for it to be added and the dev team hated the idea so had a rollback plan ready to go in case things went south.

described by Owlcat as “an industry standard tracking solution” that “allows developers and publishers to understand which part of players have purchased the game due to the impact of their advertising campaigns”.

Yeah, fuck right off.

If you’re collecting literally just gameplay data without people opting in that’s already a breach of the user’s privacy. Fingerprinting to connect them with ads is disgusting.

I am rather unimpressed that they were so comfortable over reaching on people’s personal data after I backed them in early development and have my name in the game.

I won’t be doing that again despite their quick back down.

I.wonder if you can ask for your money back and for your name to be removed.
