Privacy firm files Ubisoft legal complaint over data collection, forced online in single-player games
Assassin's Creed maker Ubisoft has been hit by a complaint from a European privacy firm over the data it collects from players.
A European privacy firm has filed a legal complaint against Assassin's Creed maker Ubisoft, citing concerns over the company's data collection practices and the requirement of an online connection for single-player games. Based in Austria, the non-profit NOYB - European Center for Digital Rights has taken on the case of a Far Cry fan who contacted Ubisoft to find out what data it had collected.
