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.

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…

Sincerely thank you for commenting. I was completely dumbfounded with @Warl0k3@lemmy.world’s statement and wasn’t sure if I wanted to waste my time with a response if it was just trolling.

If that’s all it takes to dumbfound you, I am profoundly jealous. Anyways.
Those aren’t the claims fauxliving was making. They claim that there is no indication of taketwo requesting root level access and they’re strictly right, there is no language requesting that permission (or equivalents) (but I doubt that would matter to TakeTwo since they could argue it’s implicit)
They then claim that there has been no change to the game to include kernel level anticheat, which is also true.
What you presented does nothing to substantiate or refute those claims, just the claims made in the OP. Fauxliving’s comment was off base, sure, but substantially their points are correct.
