Nvidia demanded Apple to allow its video driver to be able to phone home just like it does in the windows toy OS(running in ring 0 no less). Epic/Tencent fortnight abuses the DNS protocol probably to bypass wirewalls. Both can be observed via wireshark, which I leave as an exercise for the reader.

Personally I’m glad Apple told both of them to go pound sand.
