... urging GOG to stop stealing our data any time we claim a free game.
Some people might not care about this but the fact that we're automatically opted into their "Trusted Partners" email list any time we claim a free game is unacceptable.
I should not be FORCED to consent to them selling my data to third parties any time there's a freebie for me to claim. It doesn't encourage me to buy more from GOG. On the contrary, it only further convinces me to stop doing so. Their number one competitor service (won't name names but y'all know exactly who that is) does the direct opposite. You have full control over your privacy settings over there, down to outright disabling any sort of tracking cookies on the site. Claiming myriad free games over there does nothing to change that.
Is GOG truly so far in the red that they have to resort to such anti-consumer practices as this?
Whether you care about privacy or not, you obviously care about consumer freedom; otherwise, you wouldn't even be here. If you want to stand against GOG doing typical corpo anti-consumer garbage, stand with me.
