That’s a lot of “it possibly could, but it never has happened with huge reputable billion dollar companies”. Also seems like an AI generated list, or copied from Wikipedia? If that’s the best you can find, yeah there’s no issue.
No one should be giving some random anti-cheat program made by who knows who kennel level access, but one by EA? Fine. EA aren’t in the business of getting bankrupted by installing rootkit malware with their video game anti-cheat.
Calling anti-cheat “spyware” is dumb.
This is like saying god exists with no proof lol. Sorry, if you have not inspected their traffic you cannot blindly say "oh it's EA, they're the good guys". Too many times these greedy corps have double dipped. You really think it's outside of the realm of possibility someone there has thought of double dipping?
Your logic is absolute garbage. Or you work for EA. Not sure.
You’re the one saying that it is malware without any evidence, so you are the one saying God exists without any proof here lol
Bro that's like saying you're happy removing your front door. Would you say there's a 0% chance someone or something would wander in there? After all, there are no barriers to entry. Why not take a look?
