    From the comments:

    The game comes with Unity and uses Unity’s user tracking feature to spy on you. Neither does it tell nor does it present the opt-out option. This violates GDPR, so selling the game in Europe is illegal. Developers and Publishers who do this should be banned permanently from platforms like GOG.

    Not sure how true that is, but you might want to be cautious if privacy matters to you.

      Pretty much any data transfer from the EU to another country with laws that don’t comply with the GDPR is illegal, so that wouldn’t surprise me.

      Well, illegal without explicit consent. And even then, the user should be informed about what data is being collected, where it goes, and what’s being done with it.

      A simple We collect analytics data, do you consent? is technically not enough as far as I know. At least it shouldn’t be enough to be legal.
