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:
There is nothing in the TOS that requires you to submit to a rootkit and there is no spyware that has been added. The comment in the OP is simply wrong.
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.

Furthermore, www.take2games.com/legal/en-US/#10-availability specifically section 10.2
I hope the people who upvoted your misinformation are able to see this, please think of your actions and conduct before posting multiple comments defending a company if you’re worried about misinformation.

That… doesn’t actually rebut anything FauxLiving said. That they may use anti-cheat, and that they may have automatic updates, aren’t the claims in question here.

Ummm those two would statements would in fact allow them to install a “anticheat” rookit/kernel program at any time without your knowledge…
