    privacy and system security

    The burden of proof is on the accuser. Show Vanguard doing something shady and I might care. Keep complaining because “it could if it wanted to” and I won’t entertain conspiracy theories.

      I’m not making an accusation, it’s kernel-level access. If I know where you live, have keys to your house, know your security code, can change anything in your home without you knowing, that’s a problem.

      Why are you so dead-set on defending a company’s bad practices just because you like their game?

        I’m dead set on playing online games without cheaters. If Vanguard worked on Linux, half of this community wouldn’t care and wouldn’t rely on a fallacy of assuming it will be turned into malware.

        As for kernel level access to the machine… Oh no, just like the third party driver I had to install on Linux to use my Xbox adapter? Crazy! That must be malware!

          Yup, so you don’t care. Lmao you literally gave away the key to your house for an uninteresting video game. Pitiful.
