It was fun, specially with friends. Too bad it now has that lame anti-cheat.
Stop scripting then lol, most competitive multiplayer games nowadays has a kernel level anti cheat engine
Even if I was okay giving Riot that level of control of my machine, I still wouldn't be able to play since I game on linux.
Is EAC and VAC kernel level?
Yes, no. Valve has plans to make a kernel level one though
Here's a list of known ones

CS and TF2 is also unplayable nowadays tho because of VAC so...
Seems a bit silly to care about an anti-cheat from companies that can gain infinitely more money from selling 0s and 1s to kids' parents than being malicious actors to the kids' computers itself. Especially when your entire network activity is compromised and read by intelligence agencies, your computer is almost certainly backdoored if you're using AMD/Intel/Windows/Mac, and marketing companies are not only buying all your digital data but also your REAL LIFE movement data based on network connectivity
The computing threat modelling of kernel anti-cheats by gamers does not add up at all. Missing the forest for the trees vibe
Ah yes, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, Google, NSA, and ClA are actually the exact same thing as an anti-cheat engine for a game so they can sell more cosmetic skins to children
Even gamers here are gaming huh?
Is anyone implying these are the same thing? They're just saying these are all bad things, which you seem to agree with.
Idk, applying that mindset more widely generally leads to being a paranoid freak. Either like Teddy K off the grid types or genius reclusive l33t hacker types
Just try to avoid the actual reasonably dangerous stuff and work towards communism like a rational person
Damn I'm actually impressed, how is life without a smartphone?
Is trying to meet up with/finding people difficult when arriving to plans? Do you ever get lost without a map in your pocket? What do you do if public transit isn't running and you're stranded somewhere?
