Don't play online games then. There is plenty of offline gaming available. My point is, Microsoft most likely already knows, and even if they didn't, isn't it

Don't play online games then. There is plenty of offline gaming available.
My point is, Microsoft most likely already knows, and even if they didn't, isn't it a given that they know when and for how long do I play their own online games?
- hutzlibu 5y ago"Don't play online games then." On a general basis, why? Not every company is assumed to track and sell everything you do. But when you play with windows as a base ... yes, then it probably does not matter anyway.
- emteycz 5y agoEven the simplest Minecraft server installation tracks the players. And as for companies, for example in EU there is a law that says any online service must collect usage logs and store them at least few years, I guess it's the same in the US. Any server you're connecting to and playing on will know when and for how long, and your individual actions will be logged at the very least at the network level. If you don't like it, your only choice is to not play online.
