  My take is two fold: 1- Marketing over selling their product (common practice) 2- The “always listening” devices are mainly their Smart Remotes that have a microphone built in.

  #2 Seems the most likely as is a device fully in their control and can pull as much ad marketing / information gathering details from it as they want.

  Descent - really loved the immersive 3D world and gameplay.

  But I must have my CH Flightstick Pro to get the most out of the manuverability of the ships.

  Of course I haven’t played it in 30 years so I might be a tad rusty now even if I have all the gaming upgrades. 😁
