Interesting. There wasn't any way to turn it off when I last checked, but that was last year (during beta). Hopefully they'll allow you to get rid of it completely, but it still feels too much like my game would be tied up with King in some way, and I'd never want that.

Currently you have to explicitly turn analytics on, so it it opt-in.

Doesn't mean it doesn't collect data server-side, now does it? And even if, there's still a blatant amount of scheming involved.

No, we collect no data about your users unless you use our analytics service. If you need analytics and does not want to use ours you can roll your own.

What kind of scheming do you believe we are up to? I'm asking because we really want to do the right thing and be open about Defold. Maybe you have questions we have failed to answer properly?
