Yeah no thanks I don’t think companies should hand out rootkits to unsuspecting users.
Of course this is capitalist laziness that will envelop the entire proprietary games industry, the only way to kick out cheaters is better net code and actually scaled moderation, but those things cost money and maintnence (as well as dedicated playerbase).
To think otherwise is to boot lick these multi-million dollar corporations.
Whatever you say, at least I’m not the one advocating for people to install spyware from any Tom, Dick and Harry that claims it will “fix cheating”
The other solution is to simply not play those games. It’s bad enough that the game itself is nonfree, but if it has DRM/relies on a nonfree network service then it should be ostracized.
But those things require having a spine, so I doubt you’d like them.
