» Ubisoft in Trouble? Far Cry Gamer Says They Stole Personal Data! | by CoinGen | Coinmonks | Apr, 2025

Hey gamers and privacy warriors!
Today, we’ve got a hot one brewing in the gaming world — and it’s about something even scarier than running out of ammo in Far Cry. Ubisoft, the famous game company behind hits like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry, is now being accused of illegally harvesting gamers’ personal data without asking for permission. Yep, you read that right.

Let’s break down everything you need to know — nice and simple.

On April 24, a legal complaint was filed under Europe’s strict privacy law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The complaint says Ubisoft collected players’ personal data secretly while they were playing games like Far Cry Primal — and even shared that data with big companies like Amazon, Google, and Datadog.

Sounds shady? It gets even crazier.

A gamer downloaded Far Cry Primal from Steam (the popular game store for PCs).
But when they tried to play, they were forced to connect to Ubisoft’s servers and create an account, even though they had already bought the game.

Feeling suspicious, the gamer started tracking the internet traffic on their computer while playing.
