why does it track my location?

(+1)

I’m not sure what you mean? It doesn’t track your location and should never ask permission to either. Where are you seeing this? Is this on Windows, Mac or Linux?

Windows, the taskbar says "Location in use by: GB Studio"

probably because it uses chromium, and as we know google loves collecting our data

...no.... you're not being tracked, this has nothing to do with tracking. You completely misunderstood what that meant on a basic level. This has nothing to do with google, or tracking your location in the world or anything. Your not being tracked, you're being weird.

It doesn't. It's not tracking you. Your being paranoid and weird and you read what you saw wrong. You're not being tracked. Your computer is informing you where the program is located on your computer's files. There is no tracking. You're not being spied on.

The "Location in use by: GB Studio" on the bottom of my screen would say otherwise

Also, looking at your posts, they're almost all negative. Not a single positive thing comes out of your mouth. You've only said one non-negative thing as of making this comment.

Oddly enough, the posts you make are primarily you calling people stupid/paranoid for them saying that something has potentially malicious code in it.
