Caved to spyware just to play a game

Just to inform all if you: Sony collects every single keystroke, mouse event, controller event, applications used while the game is playing, etc, even if the game does not have the focus by the user. You all accepted these terms. So that email you type while the game is paused, that discord message you typed while the game was paused, that bit torrent client software you opened while the game was paused: all of it is reported right back to sony.

You gave sony access to your data and actions just to play a game. And before you downplay, go check other sony games like days gone and horizon. See what players have unearthed there.

It doesnt matter what you think. Just go check those other sony games. This is no different. Not sorry to break it to you.

If they're using keyloggers, at least use wireshark to test the packet spike every time you hit a keystroke, like they did back when Windows 10 tried to push keyloggers on users.

I'm all for calling DRM, anti-cheat and other technologies incorporated into games spyware, but at least be honest about it.
All you're doing is muddling the waters for people who actually give a crap about reality, and want to know whether something is factually true or not.

That's not the way it works. It logs all the crap until the game session is closed, then goes out on the internet to dump the data. In the case of Days Gone and Horizon Zero Dawn, users have posted workarounds to use windows firewall to block the process from communicating to the internet to send the file.

I am not muddying anything. Again, and again, and yet again, go to those games review sections, and follow the leads, breadcrumbs and links. It is objective. But that is ok, I understand you are denying that the facts are out there and sony wants your data. These companies know that despite people catching them in the act, no one cares, which is exactly what everyone here shows; that they are right.
