is the steam version safe to play?

[luckymud]

i recently this year got a GOG account and wanted to purchase this game on there so i could play it on it. but then i saw the highest rated review was saying this game tracks you

( https://www.gog.com/game/deus_ex_human_revolution_directors_cut link to post, scroll down to reviews)

is the Steam version also like the GOG one? is it safe to play?

most (single player) games do not track you as far as i know, steam is a store, and it uses bank information in order to let you purchase a product, like this game for example

any reason you need to be so aggressive to a yes/no question?

even if the steam version doesnt have the tracking, im also worried about that too
maybe theres a mod out there that will patch the game for you? sorry, i really dont know how to help

"tracking you". The game is sending achievement data and gameplay data to the Publishers of the game. Most large publishers do the same thing to most games - even single player games. If they know how most people play their games, they can tailor their future games more explicitly or encourage different types of playstyles.

It's nothing sinister. It's not sending your 'homework' folder to the devs, they've already seen all of it themselves, there's no purpose in being so tinfoil about games sending data. You aren't hacked, it's not a virus, it's completely benign data.

Player hacked 47 terminals, killed 19 people with pistol, 12 knockouts with bare hands, shanked 4 people with arm blades, did 8 double takedowns, and tasered 114 people, 4 grenade kills, 3 emp grenades used, and 26 alcohols consumed.

thank you for answering.
im curious on how exactly you know though. are you going off knowledge of how other single player games operate or did you look into the files or some ♥♥♥♥?

If you look at the EULA, it tells you there what kind of data it's sending.

why you afraid of them tracking you, what do you have to hide?
