They only get what you give though. Plus I feel like the whole “oh no they’ll get my data” arguments for a lot of things pretty weak. Being one that briefly used to work in data science and adtech. They don’t know you personally, you’re just in a cohort of similar people. You’re not individually identifiable. Which is fine by me. I’d rather get given targeted ads (when they’re not blocked) than the absolute wild west of a mess ads were in the 90s and early 00s.

But you could just… not. Installing their software on your machine gives them file system access, soooo… maybe just pirate and get the game for free just the same.
