I agree with this. Simply turn it on by default, and leave the option to
disable it if the user wants to. Also, give some kind of privacy statement,
in which you guarantee that no personal information will be sent, blah...
And when they try to turn it off, show them some kind of confirmation dialog
with an explanation that sending such information to you doesn't invade
their privacy, and helps you deliver them better games, etc.
