Data Mining ?

[Arasine]

Several reviews state this game has malware and data mining included in the download.
Any evidence ?

[IvoryTemplar]

It's not malware when you consent to it. That's an oxymoron.

There is no data mining, the main reason why uses lots of cpu and gpu is due to fps being unlimited when it should be either 60-120.
Stop trying to make people panic with false information.

No it doesn't look like it is.

Humanity is lost with all this conspiracy and people actual believing it, instead of people knowing facts or how to check processes. Always the same claim people do on chinese developers.

It's not just chinese developers. Chinese developers are rather well known for it, though. Along with other unscrupulous things, like P2W and such.

And, it's not just the quantity of processes that you should be checking. It's what the processes the game uses are actually doing. You should have some network monitor of some type to see where it's going, what it's sending, etc. Do that and then get back to us...

But people always expect the government is spying or chinese trying to data mine / crypto mine anything. Maybe some chinese companies, especially when they come from Hong Kong, just want to make money with a game, without ill intentions?

What they want to do and what they are forced to do by CCP are not always the same thing. Also, big money in data collection.

Also, every government does it. You think if the FBI went to blizzard and asked them for some info on someone's account blizzard would say no? Haha.

I don't use apple, nice try, though.

And, who said America wasn't bad? I'd certainly say the NSA, or whatever 3 letter agency, spying on us is bad too.

Yes. You install this game and Winnie the Pooh himself will be watching everything you do in your computer. Literally Xi Jinping sitting in his gaming rig watching you.

As a European, USA has spied us WAY more than China does and collects way more data from us. Looking at the OS from Microsoft alone or the build in chips on hardware, is already collecting stuff for USA.

And?

Can two things not be bad at the same time? Do you think I wouldn't be saying the same ♥♥♥♥ about other games with similar spyware, because it's not a chinese dev? Go track my posts in elden ring, I have the same complaints about EAC rootkit spyware.

Maybe whoever is trying to see just how "Meta" we all are playing this game.
