7 for effort.

8 if it’s executed well.

9 and up if it’s actually a creative and fun game with good mechanics, no MTX, etc.

It just makes the rating system pointless.

Using the terms “telemetry” and “spyware” interchangeably makes the former seem more nefarious and the latter less nefarious. I understand where you’re coming from but I wouldn’t want to see the term “spyware” diluted to include anonymised data about how users are using product features.

That’s not to say telemetry data is fine or that a company might claim to only use telemetry data isn’t actually using spyware.

From what I understand there is also a risk that pirated copies could count. It’s hard to see how Unity can effectively defend against it.
