This is the way.

Many games package in outright spyware that siphon all kinds of data off your machine including browsing history. Kerbal Space Program was infamous for this (they removed the spyware at some point but I haven't checked recently if it was ever added back in).

Please post details. Were they literally mining user data?

The spyware is called Red Shell and it got packaged with a bunch of popular games. Yes, it mines user data.
