Block Data Collection

[Targetdrone]

Is there a relieable way to block data collection by the game? because even the limited data option is WAAAY too intrusive for my liking (and i don't want to go through the hoops to set up a VM to play this game)...
if not, i guess it is refund time ...

it's just data to help them fix the game.

wait what?`why would they need my ip addresses, my network connections, the devices on my network, the websites i access and more to fix the game? 0.o
because all those things and more are mentioned in the "limited" data collection option....

eh, idk, but i don't think there's a way to disable that completely.

maybe try blocking the game's exe and anything related using firewalls.

Any time you visit most websites, without even signing in, they collect most of that same data.

yeah no option to turn it off was a huge red flag for me too. just use your firewall to block any outgoing connection with horizon.exe ( or whatever the name, cant remember )

Sorry but this game was ported by Chinese developers (Virtuos) and your data are collected to communist China Government. Only way now is to buy another PC and new network devices and change your ISP.

idk how these people even use the internet if they're against data collection.

Even a old Nokias have some of form of data collection.

Phew, the Chinese government almost got you, the data they've been after for all these years, but yet again you've alluded them.

[DiESF1RST]

blocking the game via firewall should stop data collection, right?
If not I will legit disable wifi every time i boot this game...
