    Temp email+fake PII is my go to when this happens. I really appreciated Larian letting me skip straight to the game with BG3. Stuff like this should always be optional.

      I wasn’t even happy with Larian, their data collection is on by default.

      The whole account and telemetry is completely unnecessary.

      I just want a game. No accounts. No external features. No DLC. No microtransactions. No telemetry collection.

      Just a game. It doesn’t seem like much to ask.

      It SHOULD be optional but corporate greed wants your data. Just Cause 3 is still sitting unplayed on my Steam account for this exact reason and I fucking loved Just Cause 1 and 2
