The RadeonSI NIR back-end as an alternative to its longstanding TGSI usage continues to be improved upon as a prerequisite for supporting OpenGL 4.6 with SPIR-V ingestion. A fresh batch of RadeonSI NIR work was merged today, including to enable it by default for one Linux game...

I don't get it. It's not something exclusive to Civilization. And Steam in general is ok? Why?
BTW, you can still block outgoing traffic, restrict the application's permissions or use an entirely "empty" account to play.

Really any somewhat recent game with online-functions and in-app-purchases will have such clauses. It might not be directly inside the EULA but inside a separate privacy policy. So show me one that doesn't.

That's not cool though.
