What you need to know
- Once Human is a new free-to-play multiplayer survival shooter from developer Starry Studio and publisher NetEase.
- The game launched on Tuesday afternoon to a "Mixed" reception, with most negative reviews coming from players concerned about the game's End User License Agreement (EULA) and NetEase's privacy policy.
- In the policy, it's noted that NetEase can collect personal data like government IDs, mailing addresses, lists of friends on social media, and other things that have raised player eyebrows.
- In response, Starry Studio and NetEase have posted in the game's Discord server in an attempt to assuage concerns, promising that they "will only use your data lawfully and reasonably and in accordance with local legal compliance requirements."
