Has this changed by now? From the #unity3d docs I would still say that they first start collecting data, then you can call OptOut if the player does not consent - which is just an opt-out. The data is then deleted, but the player cannot see the data that has been collected so farFri Sep 02 14:18:02 +0000 2022

This is the docs page I am referring to: https://docs.unity.com/analytics/ComplyingWithGDPRandCCPA.htmlFri Sep 02 14:23:56 +0000 2022
It says:
"Requests for access to player data can be submitted here and weโll respond to this request within 15 days."
Meaning that I have to forward any request to Unity? I might end up doing nothing else. ๐ต

Two weeks until the first public release of #NetworkTraders. I fear that more of its kind will follow until then. ๐

I had a closer look at the new #Unity Analytics DataPrivacy API and decided to remove the package from #NetworkTraders.Fri Sep 16 22:10:03 +0000 2022
There is, unfortunately, one important feature missing that Legacy Analytics had.

I wrote a #blogpost about that when I was a year into writing #NetworkTraders. For me, it's dividing the huge task into very small pieces. That gives me a little success every time I finish one.Mon Sep 19 20:50:07 +0000 2022
9 months later now, the game will be released this Friday!

Everything starts small, and like the grapes in my garden, the game will grow.

The #Google process just isn't meant for open test releases to be published at a certain time. So one version is now "not live", and the next one still in review.

I'm going to try and fix a bug in #NetworkTraders tonight where chances are that you get twice as many resources per trade as you should.Fri Sep 30 16:51:46 +0000 2022
