  Total War: THREE KINGDOMS Review

Three Kingdoms sold one million copies in one week. Conversely, this means one million user data for several companies. For free with every game initialization. 365 days a year. Worldwide and number of copies sold of course increasing.

In the Steam linked user agreement   the exact wording is as follows:

This block legitimizes Sega Games Co., Ltd. to implement Doubleclick, Youtube logging by Google LLC and more services with a permanent monitoring service of its own that is active during the game session.

 Linked company profiles are only available in german so far. Sorry, had no time so far to translate all the stuff by myself. Data examples can be read. For everything else please use an online-translator of your choice
