As a game creator, which game companies do you respect most?

As a PhD student in the tech space, I often think that the gap between how the general public thinks about tech and how specialist think about tech is increasing at an extreme rate. A prime example is how these tech companies do data collection when it's thought that, in the future, these methods would be much more closely regulated (location tracking, training language models on phone calls, chrome being able to read anything you type in). From my experience talking to people, they never seem to know these things are (a) possible or (b) they dismiss it. I guess I'm trying to ask whether or not you think people who cover their webcams with tape or minimise their digital footprint are right to exercise that level of caution?

Thanks
