    What’s the issue with steam? I thought the epic game store was the one actively spying on your device

      Until recently, your steam activity and games played are public and your relationship with other steam users can be traced even if you have a private profile.

      Steam has telemetry. They gather a ton of data on you. What details, how they use it, and how secure it is I can’t answer, but it’s clear that it’s happening.

          I don’t know. I’m sure it only transmits when active, but that doesn’t mean its not collecting data at all times. If you’re on windows you can turn it off with a script, but it might turn back on after major updates.

            I’m on Linux, actually. I installed Steam with great reluctance because everything else I’m running is privacy-friendly FOSS stuff but one of my best friends wanted to play something and there was no other way. As it always happens, we ended up never playing together and I just did stuff on my own, so I should probably just uninstall it at this point.

            Thanks!
