Endless Dungeon by Sega offers the player various incentives to buy. These include Denuvo, Epic Games and telemetry, advertising, Sega telemetry, Google connectivity and heartbeats.

At the start of the game, the very first Denuvo Anti-Tamper will be activated, followed by dozens of Steam API/SDR queries, an Amplitude service with hundreds of "Hello" heartbeat queries, Epic Games telemetry and online coercion, connection to Photon (Exitgames), Google Stun Server, Amazon Cloudfront, Amazon S3 and connection to Sega's in-house telemetry service, which also retains the entire game session

Even if Denuvo were not there, this title would only be limited or not at all usable without online functions.

Developed by Amplitude Studios and published by SEGA Games Co., Ltd.
Amplitude Studios was acquired by Sega 2016.

Played: Singleplayer, first tutorial mission (The product is explicitly advertised for singleplayer)
EOS Version: 1.16.0-24762224

1. 298 telemetry calls by Epic Games API
   
2. 273 friendlist checks and Heartbeat callbacks to Amplitude
   
3. 11 telemetry callbacks to SGAAS
   
4. 1 Cloudfront callback (?)
   
5. 1 EOS (Epic Online Service) callback to S3 Amazon Webservices (?)
   
6. 25 connections to Exitgames (PhotonEngine), hostname and IPv4 (MP/Analytics)

A query can contain multiple IPv4 addresses. This has not been taken into account now. In my test 93 unqiue IPv4 addresses were counted (but there are more, depending on the playtime and userlocation)

Everything :] (The listing is not complete)

Epic Games
Epic Games, Inc. API is active in this product for telemetry only. So called Ingestion stats are collecting the player progress tied to unique identifiers like Account and CorrelationID's as example:

Sega Game Activity Analytics Service
SGAAS (Sega Game Activity Analytics Service) is a telemetry service provided by Sega Games Co., Ltd.
and more. In short: Everything you can interact with is tracked, inclusive the player itself.

On my profile and project page you can also find some prepared more data and screenshots such as for Endless Space 2 or Two Point Hospital, where the SGAAS service collects extensive data. Pictures sometimes say more than words.

This "service" of Sega can be found in every newer product. For remasters and remake versions, SGAAS is implemented afterwards.

games2gether
Belongs to Amplitude Studios. This service checks player friendslists and invites. It's also spamming callbacks every 5-6 seconds with "Hello" response

Pop-Up-Market
Advertising by Amplitude

Google Stun
Stun Servers are there for network stability, connectivity or to route network traffic by players. This also includes a logging address.

The user agreement can be found in 5 languages on the Steams' store page. Opt/In/Out does not exist. Services involved are not named.

Apart from Denuvo, everything can be blocked for single players. However, it should be noted that online functions no longer work and users only have half a product in their hands. If Denuvo is blocked, the activation servers fail/cannot be reached, users are faced with a completely worthless product like in Warhammer III and many other
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2859680741
Otherwise it's a GAAS (Games as a service) product that won't work without an online connection

For additional details such as a connection overview for blocking connections and involved IPv4 addresses, company details, and a German version of the review, can be found as usual at https://gameindustry.eu/.
