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?
Yeah, most anticheats are actually just rootkits (running at kernel level with unlimited privileges). This is also a big security issue, some games like genshin impact have also been used to create botnets since there is only one privilege escalation from the game itself to the kernel.
Whenever you use an anticheat, you just have to take the company’s word for what they are doing with that kernel-level access.
Ouch, so the Sony root kit scandal just showed how it should be done for companies…
even Roblox?
ESPECIALLY Roblox
as far as im aware, roblox’s new anti cheat is not kernel level but rather user level, besides it would scare me if it could run at kernel level considering that it never asks for admin permissions
I hope that’s all it is
sure?
Seeing how unethical the company is in general, it would’n’t surprise me if the anticheat was just the worst. Even forgetting the anticheat part, I would NEVER play it.
(Unethical is actually a pretty big euphemism here)
