Mojang's Notch is a smart guy in the field of game design and management of the company's 20,000,000+ Minecraft players, is an excellent choice. The designer has published a poll on his personal blog to determine whether his cuboid constituents would feel comfortable with the company collecting different types of anonymized data from its players.

Mojang currently tracks players only when they logs into the game. Notch proposes to track "non-private" data, like the length of a gameplay session and the type of OS, whether you are playing in a single or multi-player mode, and whether you are using the client or web applet. The data gathered will be made available to the community, "as usual."



"Naturally the data you send will be fully anonymous," said Notch. "So it won't include any session information or your user name, and it wouldn't send any sensitive information that you wouldn't want to divulge." We're a bit amazed that this kind of data hasn't been collected to be honest. You can vote here to support anonymous data collection or against an anonymity in the case of the Minecraft nation.
