Notch Requests Permission From Community To Track Player Data In Minecraft
Mojang's Notch, a smart man in game design and management of the company's 20,000,000plus Minecraft players, is an excellent choice. Minecraft raiding servers The designer has posted an online poll on his personal blog to discover whether his cuboid constituents would feel comfortable with the idea of collecting various types of anonymous information from its players.
Mojang currently tracks only when a player logins to the game. Notch proposes to collect "non-private" information like the length of a gameplay session and OS type, as well as whether you are playing in a single or multi-player mode and whether you are using the client or the web applet. The data gathered will be shared with the community, "as usual."
"Naturally the information you send will be completely private," said Notch. It won't include your session details or user name, and it will not transmit any sensitive information that you wouldn't want to share. We're amazed that this kind of data hasn't been collected in the first place, but we'll admit it. You can vote here to support anonymous data collection or against it for those who are part of the Minecraft nation.
