Just checked again.
So let me give some more information about the findings.
I have been monitoring for a while now.
When in the main menu not doing anything but launching the game it sends all sorts of data across various of servers(ip addresses) and later when a bunch of data has been send ( Receive/Send ) there is a constant flow between a google server that is run though smartphone tycoon app.

So far all information found run by the program:
172.217.168.195
172.217.20.109
224.0.0.251
fra02s28-in-f13.1e100.net
239.255.255.250

But strange that a singleplayer game is sending so much data for no specific reason over the internet.

Picture proof of ip addresses.

This game is not what it seems. Can anyone help? MilesGaming might be our first step.

This game use the NW.js package to bring a web app to browser/desktop.
If you not famiiar with NWJS stop trolling about Virus etc..
NWJS use Chromium as backend.
Read more: https://nwjs.io/ ( open source: https://github.com/nwjs/nw.js )
@Aston Martin Valkyrie - What you show us is only Databse Structure from Chromium. But no entrys. Click "Browse Data" on your SQLBrowser Tool , i'm sure its all empty.
Of course use this game Internet to connect with other server. SteamAPI example or Debug Service etc and of cource Chromium it self contact Google server.
So, stop make panic here.

Does not explain why there is data transfer to their servers for a singleplay game.
This is midgame not when it crashes! It even sends data when you are in the main menu?

Here you go with a bit more info as your resource monitor ;] It's pretty useless...

Product is using several Google stuff

One valid point... For singleplayergames no external connections are necessary. Especially when there is no information on the product page or a real reason. And i mean no "legitimate interest" or "technically necessary"... Here or elsewhere. But that's another topic and only my opinion.

Well, long speech, short sense.... easy way is to block the exe.

Should I keep the game or delete it. Am I going to get hacked or something? I like this game except for the super bad bugs but i dunno if i should have it on my computer. Please reply with a good answer.

I ran it through Norton and they found no evidence of any foul programs. I'd say keep it if you enjoy the game. You won't get hacked.
