"NetEase takes our users’ data privacy very seriously and adheres to the data privacy principles such as data minimization, purpose limitation, and transparency," the companies said. "For example, we would only collect government-issued IDs for the following reasons: where the local laws require us to do so (such as for a specific promotion), when the identity of a user’s parent must be verified to obtain consent for their child (if required by applicable child protection laws), or when the user wishes to correct their age information (again, if such verification is required by law)." Unfortunately, the gaming industry has long been impacted by privacy leaks or shifty data collection systems. Not long ago, Steam implemented a new privacy feature to help users protect their gaming history, library, and other previously public informat

The five aspects of your body that you'll need to keep watch over are your energy, oxygen, hunger, thirst, and sanity. Sanity in particular is driven by Stardust contamination. Insanity will lower your maximum health, and you will need ways to get your sanity back up.

"This privacy policy is problematic because it lacks clarity, transparency, and appears to over-collect personal information without sufficient justification or safeguards for user privacy. Regularly, privacy policies should prioritize user consent, data security, limited data collection, and clear communication of data usage purposes," one review said. The biggest issue for users is the lack of honesty and transparency on the developer's part, even though NetEase and Starry Studios have collectively published a statement (via Steam ) in an attempt to iron out these concerns.
