    Games are essentially attack vectors with kernal level access to your computer.

    Some games, with very specific anticheat. Let’s not spread misinformation.

    That being said, yeah I don’t get it either - I refused to play Valorant for this reason.

      I mean even games without anti-cheat are attack vectors. Some 18 year old kid is going to prison because his game stole crypto.

      Also that’s pretty much what I was explaining, I just assumed everyone already knows what I’m talking about. I wouldnt say its misinformation, just lazy short hand and me expecting the audience here to be caught up enough to know what I mean.
