I was recently checking to see how it compares to the other one and noticed from the Steam reviews that people are currently pissed off that a recent update added analytics spyware. Thankfully, it seems like the company backtracked, which sure beats other companies, but it was still pretty scummy.
From the EULA before it was reverted:
Thereby, the User hereby agrees that Owlcat Games has the right to upload software program files to User's Device, that will record CPU, RAM, operating system, video card, sound card, software and application of the other developers, peripherals, geolocation and any other anonymous technical and statistical information from User's computer. The User also agrees that Owlcat shall have the right to transfer the said anonymous information to its subcontractors, performing Game development, and vendors providing services necessary for operation of the Game.
Again, they did back off on it, but I thought I'd throw it out there.
Can't speak much to the game itself, although I am curious, and will probably give it a go soon.
Speaking of nonsense devs have added, I know I've ranted about XCOM 2 a few times, but 2K/Firaxis, under Take-Two Interactive (who I suspect are the real pushers) keep trying to force their bullshit additional launcher on people. When it straight up breaks the game for many people, and you need to use the alternative launcher (which people should be doing anyway, since it was still better than even the old functional official launcher.) Yeah, a bit off topic, but it still pisses me off years later, since that company refused to backtrack, and banned people for criticism too. So, despite the scumminess for trying the spyware in the first place, major props to Owlcat or whoever made the call, for actually listening to the customer concerns, and fixing the issue.
