        On PC, HZD is a privacy nightmare with no option to turn off data collection - you either comply to full data collection, or “limited”, whatever that means.

            Content data: Video, audio, graphic, text, game level, account information, ad and other content that is requested and downloaded for the features, games, apps and websites you access online.

            Network data: Network connections, IP address, requirements and speed of the connections."

            Why the hell does HZD, a single player offline video game, need that data for?

            Also:

            Security data: Information necessary to detect and investigate malicious, unauthorized or fraudulent activity.

            Legal data: Information required by applicable law and to demonstrate compliance.

            Yikes.

            I would have no problem with that if they allowed me to turn data collection off. But that’s just not possible, and you can only ask them nicely to only gather “limited data collection”, without any kind of information about what “limited” and “full” really mean.
