  People should stop playing any game that has such anticheat.

  Another reminder that markets don’t self regulate.

  I’m with you, but you’ve got a lot of people to convince. A lot. The people playing those games make up the majority of the market.

  Umm, actually. All proprietary software is unethical and introduces huge risks to your PC. People should stop playing any game that has such closed closed source.

    Dude. This is such a dumb argument. Kernel level anti cheat means you got code running at kernel level. See the whole crowd strike fiasco.

    Having a third party updater attached to a kernel that could be hacked or tampered by malicious worker at any time (see Crowdstrike) seems riskier than just running teams, but fair point

      Yes, it is riskier. That’s not my point, though. It is that telling people “just don’t do that” isn’t helpful.
