Can Pirated Games Be Tracked?
Many users who want to try out games or otherwise play older games that aren’t available conventionally anymore wonder if those games can be tracked. We’ve established that Steam itself doesn’t track which programs on your computer you bought to which you did not.
An internet service provider has access to data that allows them to track the type of content you might download from the internet. In this way, it is possible to track a pirated game in the sense that an ISP could see what type of content you downloaded to your computer and when.

Can Facebook See Video From Quest’s Cameras?
As for what’s seen through Quest’s on-board cameras, Meta has told us previously that it does not send any video or scans from the camera to its servers, though it didn’t rule out the possibility in the future . Indeed, Meta doesn’t show any camera-related information in its list of information that it has about your account.
The list further above is the data Meta captures about your VR use, but if you’re using Quest 2, your VR data is inherently associated with data collected by Meta on your non-VR activity via Facebook. Thus it’s also worth looking over that information to know what kind of data will potentially be used to influence your activity in VR.
Steam Data Suite
As extensively demonstrated, selling games on Steam successfully is tough work. Not only do you have to consistently keep track of KPIs in an unnecessarily complex environment, but also perform an incredible amount of manual analysis to make sure you’re getting the most out of the initiatives you are rolling out to improve performance. We went out for you to look for solutions to help you with all that, and we think we found them in a pretty neat platform called Steam Data Suite.
Basically, it’s a set of tools that allows you to effectively analyze all the relevant data that the Steam platform is offering and more importantly isn’t offering. That way, it helps you make informed decisions when positioning your games on the Steam store. Including several sales reporting tools (Yes, no more getting lost in Steamworks) as well as proper marketing attribution for Steam and a market insight feature that helps you to stay well informed of the market including competitors, Steam Data Suite is capable of solving every pain point we described in this article.
