Riot Games‘ kernel-level anti-cheat, Vanguard, has received an update that is allegedly altering system firmware to remove the ability of the user to access certain hardware associated with cheating.
Riot Games quoted one post discussing the anti-cheat, replying “congrats to the owners of a brand new $6k paperweight.” But how exactly does Vanguard’s new system make “paperweights” out of hardware?
I’m against any kind of kernel level anticheat FOR A GAME.
These kinds of things aren’t there to make then better for you. It’s there to protect investor’s money.
They shouldn’t have access to you’re system and I’d imagine vast majority of people don’t have a clue what this means.
I didnt say anything about any of that, I said you didnt read the article, you just reacted to a false headline
You got ragebaited
Oh and I just realized. I meant kernel level anticheat should be illegal. I didn’t make myself clear. I apologize. I run Linux though, so doesn’t affect me. :-D
Not raged at all. :-) just making a point. Speaking my side. Not disagreeing with you
