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?
Someone on Lemmy wrote the modern anti-cheat systems are essentialy rootkits.
And after reading that list, I wholeheartdly agree.
Geshin Impact and Valorant are two of the worst offenders at this. Their anticheat runs at an absurdly high level.
I think you mean low level, no?
Well high as in a program running off the OS as the lowest.
high level or low level?
Whatever you call ring 0
This made me think, if whatever company runs these kernel-level rootkit anti cheats get hacked, and since these anti cheats are absolutely proprietary can’t the hackers modify the code to, basically, create a giant genshin impact gamer botnet?
That sounds EXTREMELY unlikely.
