Nice to see an alternative. The fact that KSP2 is still for sale is just shameful. It’s effectively abandonware.
Kerbal has a lot of spyware on both games from what I've read. I'm glad to see an alternative being made without the spyware nonsense.
Source?
Sources come from this article, sources referenced are recommended. (https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/ksp)
Note: I know it's for the first game, though the second game would have something like this, or similar.
Edit: I stand corrected. It had Redshell on launch, but got removed in a future patch. Apparently, this was common in other games for a short time, but I wouldn't trust Kerbal due to that. I was considering Trailmakers as well, though it had Redshell spyware at one point.
I'll bite. What spyware?
It used Redshell, which does this (at the time): https://spyware.neocities.org/articles/redshell
Apparently, that isn't the case anymore. Maybe the devs realized that was a mistake.
Interesting. When was that in ksp? I've had it since before it was on steam.
