Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2026

The Shocking Truth

In a stunning departure from industry norms, Morally Bankrupt Game Studios has decided not to harvest your personal data for profit. We know, we’re disappointed too. It turns out that building comprehensive surveillance infrastructure is actually quite expensive, and frankly, we’d rather spend that money on executive bonuses.

Analytics (The One Thing We Do Track)

This website uses Rybbit, a privacy-focused analytics service. We chose Rybbit because it lets us see how many people visit our site without us having to find out any unpleasant details about them as individuals. This suits us perfectly, as we like to maintain a healthy separation from the general public.

What Rybbit collects:

  • Page views - We can see which pages are popular (spoiler: it’s probably not this one)
  • Referrer - Where you came from - ie, the link you clicked to get here
  • Browser and device type - Whether you’re on desktop or mobile, or something in-between
  • Country - Derived from your IP address, but the IP itself is immediately discarded

What Rybbit does NOT collect:

  • No cookies - Not even the delicious kind
  • No personal information - We don’t know who you are, and honestly, we prefer it that way
  • No IP addresses stored - They’re just a bunch of boring numbers anyway
  • No cross-site tracking - We cannot stress enough that we really don’t want to know where you go after you leave this site
  • No user profiles - You’re just a number to us. A beautiful, anonymous number.

Because Rybbit doesn’t use cookies, and we don’t use any ourselves, we don’t need one of those annoying consent banners.

Even if we did have cookies we wouldn’t share them with the likes of you, anyway.

Mailing List

If your mental faculties lapse so majorly that you choose to subscribe to our mailing list (sorry in advance), we do collect some actual personal data. We know, it’s very out of character for us.

What we collect:

  • Your email address - Obviously. That’s how newsletters work.
  • Your IP address at sign-up - We store this because some countries require us to. It proves that you did, in fact, decide to opt-in to our mailing list. Understandable that they’d want proof, because that is a pretty bizzare decision.

How it works:

We use a double opt-in process. This means after you enter your email, we’ll send you a confirmation email with a link you need to click. If you don’t click it, you don’t get added to the list. This protects you from random people signing you up, and protects us from spending fractions of a penny sending you an email that you won’t read. Score!

Where your data lives:

Our newsletter system is hosted on servers in the EU. Emails are sent via Amazon SES (Simple Email Service), which means Amazon briefly handles your email address in order to deliver our missives to your inbox. Amazon’s privacy practices are governed by their own policies, which are much longer than this one.

Your rights:

Under GDPR, you have the right to:

  • Unsubscribe at any time (there’s a link in every email, we promise)
  • Request access to the data we hold about you
  • Request deletion of your data from our systems
  • Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you think we’ve done something dodgy

To exercise any of these rights, contact us. We’ll try to respond faster than we respond to feature requests (low bar, we know).

Third-Party Services

Our website links to external services like Patreon (where we collect your money), Discord (where we collect your complaints), YouTube, and Bluesky. These platforms have their own privacy policies, which are almost certainly longer and more invasive than ours. We encourage you to read them if you enjoy that sort of thing.

Data We Don’t Collect

Despite our name suggesting otherwise, we actually don’t:

  • Use tracking cookies
  • Sell your data to advertisers (we haven’t figured out how yet)
  • Build psychological profiles to manipulate your purchasing decisions (we just ask nicely for your money instead)
  • Share your newsletter data with third parties (beyond what’s needed to actually send the emails)

The Fine Print

If you have questions about this privacy policy, feel free to contact us. We’ll get back to you as soon as our unpaid intern finishes their yacht-polishing duties.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy occasionally. If we ever decide to start actually harvesting your data, we’ll be sure to update this page - though by that point, you probably won’t be reading it anyway. Nobody reads these things.
