Yikes. Is the review in the screenshot true? They got root anticheat? Or rootkit data harvesting?
No, it’s misinformation and people who uncritically repeat things without verification.
I’ve had the game installed for years and have to manually apply updates, there hasn’t been one.
All they’ve done is make their TOS universal across all of their games.
He said it, root access level in the TOS of BorderLand. Not that a root kit is included, but that they allowed them self to inclid it whenever they can. That not misinformation…
He said it
That not misinformation…
It is misinformation if the things he said are not true.
So, let’s look into the claims.
Here’s the TOS:
www.take2games.com/legal/en-US/
There is nothing about root level access.
In addition, if you look at the patch history for Borderlands 2 on SteamDB, you will see that the last update for the game was 4 August 2022.
So, to be clear:
This is what happens when you simply read social media and repeat what you’ve heard without checking to see if you’re spreading misinformation.
I’m really curious on what actual specific steps you took to “check”. It took me about a few minutes of reading to find it.

He said they added a kernel level anticheat in the TOS which is true. But they seem to have not included it in the game yet. But they and and by possedong the game you allow them to.

I’d like to know how your autocorrect learned this word

That’s a typo from an i to an o, commenter probably meant possessing but made a mistake and tried to type posseding, I suspect their native language is french given their username and “to possess” in french is “posséder”
