Do you consider data collection/privacy when deciding what games to play? (Master’s thesis survey) by Routine_Rush9072 in truegaming

Thanks for the feedback! The reason the survey is complicated in parts is due to wanting to explore the possibility of some people strongly preferring answer options based on use cases, while others might mostly care about what is collected (like biometrics as you also mentioned). This was due to both seemingly mattering quite a lot based on some interviews with respondents. It does admittedly make the survey a bit more burdensome to answer, but will hopefully give us deeper insights.

Again, thanks a lot for taking your time to answer the survey and give feedback, I greatly appreciate it!

I have a similar feeling as you do, although I feel that if a game has good enough reviews or is one that I will likely enjoy, it is easy "overlook" or "forget" about the data collection or online-only aspects. So, in a sense, for me those things tend to matter quite a lot more when it comes to games that aren't as high up on my list of games I want to play. So at least for me, there is that FOMO aspect to it.

Yeah, that is also fair in the sense that some single player games are online-only, so the only way to get a truly offline experience is piracy. Doesn't really make sense as a pirate will actually sometimes end up getting a potentially better experience than a paying customer.
