Non-sensitive statics release, maybe, please?

Do they get the info when playing via steam?

Steam launches the launcher, not the game itself, and the launcher gives you the option of logging into your Paradox account, so yes.

Why would they share that info on anything but irregular intervals?

Nobody's asking for them to share it at regular intervals, for one thing. Second is because it's fun, which is the whole reason any of us are here in the first place.

Alright, well even supposing that they can parse the data into useful meaningful criteria. Why would they share that info on anything but irregular intervals?

I am not saying share it weekly, on demand or anything. But it would be a nice one off thing. From the top of my head, I would think:
-Usage of voice for advisor
-Restart rate within 20 years
-Ranking of government types
-Most commonly picked name for the Amoba
-Average insults sent per century
-Siding in the War in Heaven
-Ascension paths taken
-Which covenants are most common
-Galaxy size selection
-Shape
-Average number of mods
-GC/MC/ME/FP/Standard empire split

Again....for me, this is a SP game, but I do want to know how people play. Maybe I miss something and need to try .
You would find this boring. Fine. I would love to see what the community actually plays.
Why would they share? Why do they post things on the twitter account. Why do they do dev diaries. Why do they dev clashes. Because it keeps the community engaged and gives us something to talk about. Because we are interested.

Thank you for educating me and glad to see you share my interest. Cheers.

I will just gently kick this thread to the first page, so that there is a chance it is seen in work hours by the PDX friends.

Starting around 3:00 some details on how they do it.

I remember Martin Anward saying something about Xenophile being the most played ethic and the Dictatorship being the most played government form for normal empires. But that was quite long ago.

This is literally why they give us incentives to play while logged into our Paradox accounts.

What's the incentive? I never knew there was any.

Would like to see a % list of advisor voices used by players. Wonder where "moronic screaming militarist" would end up on that list.

Dont think paradox will share that info.

 

[Spidee]

Yes (and I do not want to ask PDX for a copy of my personal data and then there is no reason as to why PDX - or most others - should know, when I have started stellaris or playing the game in my free time).

ps. Interesting that either so many people do not agree, that I only play stellaris with a deactivated internet connection, or that they do not agree, that PDX does not get more information about my games for free (after all I am not getting paid for playing the game, but I did buy the game).

Honestly, individual user data is irrelevant. I don't care how You, Marry, Paul, Peter, WeiSim, Abdul, Mugani or Hak play. I'd like to see and aggregate %. Blinding the data was such a standard practice, that it shouldn't even have to mentioned. Here in EU, GDPR stepped up the privacy game.

Let us not open that particular discussion, as it led to a lot of emotions and contributed to the rule changes on this forum.
