I'm not suggesting they would do anything illegal, although working out what is illegal in which jurisdiction may be an interesting legal conundrum in this instance, but I'd still be interested to see exactly what data is sent.
Mind you the network snoop would probably not show you unencrypted data anyway. You'd need to see the packets before they were encrypted to know what they were sending anyhow.
In many ways this is one of the things that wrankles most with me. A company that I paid, (via royalties or whatever), then says they are going to send some data from my PC to their servers everytime I play the game, but they won't tell me what that data is because I might be a pirate.
How exactly does this make sense to anyone?
IF it actually stopped software piracy, I'd agree that it would be a reasonable proposition, but at best, like all the other DRM's that are out there OSP will be a mere speed hump rather than a brick wall.
