Comment on Bloodbath Ahead For EA As It Looks To Cut $700 Million In Annual Costs Under Saudi Arabia

Games are essentially attack vectors with kernal level access to your computer.

The united States is looking at doing something about Chinese gaming companies, yet we are okay with handing over what is essentially a back door over to the Saudis.

I just think its weird what malware we are okay with.

Games are essentially attack vectors with kernal level access to your computer.

Some games, with very specific anticheat. Let’s not spread misinformation.

That being said, yeah I don’t get it either - I refused to play Valorant for this reason.

  I mean even games without anti-cheat are attack vectors. Some 18 year old kid is going to prison because his game stole crypto.
  
  Also that’s pretty much what I was explaining, I just assumed everyone already knows what I’m talking about. I wouldnt say its misinformation, just lazy short hand and me expecting the audience here to be caught up enough to know what I mean.
