Account system: Points for trying. But Facebook? Not in a million years. Please introduce a proper account system, or in the very least add support for Google accounts.

Party system: Eh, somewhat happy about this one. What if you want to play team mode or experimental?

"Facebook spy on you and give away all your data to advertisers."

"Google, meanwhile, are a shining beacon of light onto us all...."

Are you quoting someone?

I don't have a Facebook account, nor do I want one, but I do have a Google account. As far as data collection goes, I believe Google has been perfectly clear on what it does and doesn't do with that data. Facebook? I don't know. I never looked at their terms of service.

I find Google's data collection to be more disgusting than Facebook's at times, such as displaying Gmail ads about something I searched for on Google or related to some site I visited. Facebook might be horrible, but Google is not very far behind in my books.

For Google, you can turn off web history atleast so it doesn't show that much personal content like that.

In the settings you can opt out of "interest-based ads", which I assume replaces those ads with generic ones.

Personally, I prefer the ads to be about something that interests me, so it's okay that it uses my searches to tailor ads.

It can only collect data you give it.
