> As for games, lots of people play games and want good anticheat
Great, let's install a backdoor in every computer so that some people can play games and watch movies. No. Computer is a thing for computing numbers not a replacement for a TV.
I can't take people like you seriously. The anticheat isn't a backdoor. It doesn't ship with the operating system or come preinstalled in anyway. You opt into it when you play the game. Literally nothing is forcing you to use it or have it installed on your computer.
I understand this is the internet and being super dramatic is part of it but can we please be for real for one moment?
What's wrong with people being upset that in order to play the game they have to install low level kernel modules? It's flawed software that hits an ant with a sledgehammer. Adding to injury, tons of reports online of people getting BSODs and other security features not working while the module is enabled. It's invasive and it's silly to be as dismissive as you are around peoples' concerns.
I meant things like Microsoft's signing keys embedded inside BIOS, Microsoft Pluton CPU, secure enclaves inside CPU (now deprecated though) and things made for Secure Boot and DRM.
