Ok like, what the actual fuck? How is this ok with any privacy policy? I have never noticed this because any game I played ever showed this menu to me. Is there any way to not let this fucking “anti-cheat” (looks more like a trojan) to steal every single data from my activity?
While I haven’t dug into anti-chest specifics, I’m pretty sure they all function this way. Not that I like it either, but if you don’t want games accessing this information, you’ll probably want to avoid games with anti-cheat.
Eg Denuvo, which is widely used and recognized (recognized as shit that causes lots of issues, too), gets kernel level access, which means it can do anything it wants.
Is kernel level access granted by Microsoft? I mean for stuff like Denuvo.
Or do you accept it when you install it? There are so many weird levels of security on windows.
The Denuvo kernel driver is signed by Microsoft; in order to install it you have to enter your admin password when installing the game. But once it’s registered with the system, it has full access thanks to being signed by MS.
