What data would be sent off having Google Play services installed? I get that you can disable certain permissions and can also use profiles.
Ideally I wouldn't want to use profiles. I could use something like Shelter on a rooted device but that kind of slows down multitasking
Nothing, if you want. You can disable network permissions on play services. ~~Google~~ DDG first to make sure that won't break the game. Depends on what the game uses play services for... if it's some local functionality it will be fine, if it's remote functionality then it will break.
Good point. I had forgotten about disabling network access. I think a majority of the games I paid for work off the idea that if you connect a few times or have a certain amount of plays times you can then play offline. Well the ones that check that is.
Maybe I'll give this a go. Thanks for the advice
