    Secret?
    If you have to be online for a single player game to keep working, they are collecting data.

      Whether or not you have to be, if you are online for a single player game they are probably collecting data. Or trying to. Use opensnitch.

      Absolutely. Don’t install anti-cheat malware on your computer.

    That’s one hell of a poorly kept secret.
