“He consented to me stabbing him dude, I dont get what the deal is. What, do you hate free will? He said it was okay to stab him. Get your hands off me, you cant take me to jail he coNSENTED, HE CONSENTED!!!”
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.
Gaming companies are not giving you a choice. You are arguing in favor of the right of companies to force you to install invasive software on your pc in order to use what you paid for. And you dont seem to understand that that is the exact opposite of user freedom.

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

It’s a fucking video game. Don’t like it? Don’t fucking install it. Simple as.
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.
Cool, then don’t download it if you don’t like it.
“Just dont go stabbing dude, who other people stab is none of your business”

I still fail to see why you people think you have more of a right to my computer than I do
YOURE INSTALLING SOFTWARE THAT DIGS INTO YOUR KERNEL TO RESTRICT WHAT YOU DO YOU STUPID FUCK. HOW THE HELL IS THAT GIVING YOU MORE FREEDOM?
Because it’s my own fucking choice to install it.

Weird. Nobody has forced me to install a single game yet.
