Unity: We have to charge for every install because we only see totals. Also Unity: We can tell which install is which, so you won't be overcharged.

Are MAC address even shared ocer IP? as I understand MAC is for routers and other equipment to connect themselves, what MAC address are they going to receive? The one of the PC or the one of my router?

The game could read the Mac address and send it. It would probably violate GDPR because it's not required for the game to perform its function, but it's technically trivial.

GDPR would probably allow it under "legitimate interest"
