I don't think a pirated copy of the game would call home, that's something that hackers should patch really quickly IMO

Crackers often only patch out the DRM to redistribute a pirated copy of a game. If it is a game from a small studio, something like Goldberg is enough to "crack" the game, and it wouldn't remove any of the Unity telemetry.

huh, that's true. I've "forgot" about emulators like Goldberg.

Tho, I can imagine some kind of methods will appear sooner or later for that too.
