Mods and User Privacy

[Argilegator]

Are there any restrictions on Mod Makers using analytics in their mods for Rimworld? I've already found one mod that is phoning home. Is this something that is being done widespread? Between the multiple librarys available, has anyone seen these libraries used for hacking? These are just preliminary questions, as I'm looking into something right now.

Depends what is being "sent home", I would say if no personal data is being sent and its for statistical reasons then that would be deemed ok, obviously take this coming from a simple moderator, Tynan/Ludeon may have another stance on this. If you have a particular mod you know of thats doing something you feel is shady feel free to PM me and ill try and take it up with Tynan. Hope that helps.
