Yup. That's why this "final thought" doesn't add up:
> You want to put a stop to this? Stop playing free games. Buy a game for 4.99 or 9.99.
No. The only solution is to stop playing games that exploit people's privacy in such a way. No matter what you pay for them.
What about people who can't tell how bad they're being exploited? Well, for starters, paying 4.99 is not going to suddenly make them able to tell. Surely paying may make them believe the game is more honourable, but that's really the same spiel all over again, is it not?
No it's much simpler. Just get your games from a company in a jurisdiction where this shit is illegal. Like in the EU.
Just like people are sometimes wary of certain foreign brand electronics having cheaper chips or whatnot in them, now you know what US-based game companies are legally allowed to do to their users. And the lengths they will go to do it.
> We don’t want to be making games like this, and we don’t want another meeting about retention, cohorts or churn.
And please. "Look at what you made us do!", have some personal responsibility.
