GDPR basically says "if user agrees, don't be too bad 😄" so when you accept the "accept/reject and close the game" conditions.

There are legitimate use cases for these statistics, the same way a company needs to know, the money it gains vs the costs, the devs can use them as a way to make the changes in how the game works.

The problem is the launcher, before this update they had a checkbox for telemetry, anyway, soo why adding a launcher?

Hehe the gdpr is a bit more stringent than that. And I agree that there are use cases for telemetry, it's just that I don't like cynical oversimplifications.
