I can finally pin-point what gave away the latest game I played. I was playing 2077 and their launch client problaby sold the data about my steam account.
That's dope! Can you give a brief overview of how you accomplish that ?
Well, I was only playing on my personal PC which has Linux. My steam has been setup not to sell personal information. I did not search the game anywhere (I was just starting). It's just easier to see where things leaked when you take a privacy focus so if I notice a leak it's problably on the new thing I had to boot up to play.
Oh I gotcha. I thought you had an app/device/software/etc that would help point out leaks.
as far as I know they're selling those kind of services but they do seem to be bogus.
