> Consumers do not want to pay money for a product and then also have their data harvested to be used to make even more money off of them.
Agreed. And both the game devs and Red Shell as far as I can see aren't selling this data. The devs are spending money to use Red Shell to try to have better / more cost effective advertising campaigns.
Just collecting the data makes it vulnerable to abuse. What if there is a breach?

The nature of marketing hasn't changed at all over the years. Show an impression, ask what the user was influenced by. Surreptitiously stealing data off of someone's computer as a means of answering the question is flat out the wrong way to do it.
If you take my personal data without my consent, I will consider that an intrusion upon my privacy.
