Redshell spyware
Developers had used Redshell software for tracking users activity (in order to "evaluate impact of their advertisement"). They have install this software together with the game without asking for permission ("opt-in"). Quotation from Redshell site: "Then logs a gamer's fingerprint when launching the game for the first time." "Red Shell logs a gamer’s fingerprint on clicking custom link. Run campaigns on Facebook, Google, Twitch, YouTube, or anywhere else." After some players searched why their computers connects to: redshell.io api.redshell.io treasuredata.com in.treasuredata.com this practise has been found. Developers have removed Redshell software after this practise has been revealed. Definition of spyware from Wikipedia: "Spyware is software that aims to gather information about a person or organization, sometimes without their knowledge, that may send such information to another entity without the consumer's consent, that asserts control over a device without the consumer's knowledge, or it may send such information to another entity with the consumer's consent, through cookies." I cannot support the game no matter how good it is just for this single reason - installing spyware.
