      No, I know with certainty that it’s fucking malware, that it’s a massive security hole, and that there is abundant precedent that customers inherently cannot consent to unreasonable EULA terms.

      There’s a reason that no abusive EULA term has ever been accepted or enforced by courts. The idea that all that shit is automatically ignored, but somehow consenting to extremely invasive malware is OK is completely batshit.

        The only thing unreasonable here is that you think you have room to decide what other people do with their own hardware.

            How so? Users consciously choose to install (and keep installed) these programs. Why should your opinion matter?

                  Thats the point, dude, you shouldnt be allowed to put malware into video games. Its a fucking video game. It doesnt need that level of access.

              Arguing that conditioning the use of a game you bought on the installation of kernel level anticheat software designed to watch the user like a hawk is somehow pro user freedom is batshit.
