Remember Redshell spyware?

[Tzyder]

Kerbal Space Program was one of the first games to allow 3rd party spyware into their games. Boycott this product even if it interests you because Gamers should be treated better and sleazy $pying developers should go out of business.

Does this game have spyware?

Wow, Redshell mentioned again !

So OP What games currently use Redshell ?

I wonder if the OP will answer those questions here.

You know, I assume a lot of the angry people are acting in some kind of good faith.

But there's always the blatant exception.

Not even commenting on the thread, just wanted to say it's good to see a familiar name from the KSP 1 discussions in here; I've caught a fair few of your posts in the past. Hope you're enjoying the game :)

Whether KSP2 has or does not have spyware isnt the issue. This developer use it in the past and their products should not be purchased. They should go out of business because as gamers and consumers we want to be treated with respect not as sheep to be shorn. There is a line that cant be crossed and inserting 3rd party spyware into a game has to be that line.

terms which you find in pretty much any game, it is collection about which features you use in game. the features you use are personal to you.

i also notice a distinct lack of info on where this spyware is installed or anything...

The difference being THESE devs engaged in dodgy and untrustworthy behavior in the past with information gathering..Look - if your a junky that cant say no go by the game. If your not a junky show some standards and spend your money elsewhere. Plenty of games out there and maybe if you let this one go out of business it will be replaced with a better company that doesnt exploit their customers.
