I really don't think it was that secret. Every modern Ubisoft game I've played has had multiple unskippable TOS checkboxes that you had to agree to before you can even pass the title screen, which state in no uncertain terms that they're going to datamine the shit out of your entire play session.
It is still nice to see this stuff being challenged, though, even though I'm doubtful that it'll bring about any meaningful change.
And that's a big reason why I don't buy Ubisoft games. Even the old Ezio trilogy has that crap.
So yeah, no more.
Yeah, I remember noting this when I played Assassin's Creed Odyssey for the first time.
