>Valorant Anticheat starts upon computer boot and runs all the time, even when you don't play the game
How do you guys feel about this shit? It feels super invasive and if every developer starts using it then you're going to have 20 anti-cheat processes running when you boot up your PC. This seems scummy as fuck.

I went through the trouble of getting a key but never installed the game because of it. I fucking hate that every fucking company is trying to spy on us at every turn in current year.

I don't know very much, but that sounds like malware. Is this shit legal?
Any game that requires you to restart after you've installed it and simply will not function unless you do is doing the same thing.
It's malware. You might be surprised that win10 is full of it too. So is Firefox and Chrome. Even Geforce Experience has malware in it.
Where did the tech industry go so wrong?
>How do you guys feel about this shit?
I don't care
Can you name another game that requires a reboot after installation? I can't off the top of my head.
I thought it was relevant to include in the post because RIOT devs responded and tried to justify it
Virtualbox
>all those posters going "who cares, it's novel and better than csgo script kiddies, they can take whatever extreme measures they need" while bitching at anyone that calls out Riot for this
there's a lot of reasons why I don't bother with riot games, but the chief among them is their loyal cocksucking community that has absolutely no self-awareness, just blind stupidity
Why does anyone defend a corporation? If you love the games, you should criticize them and the devs so they become even better.

Will you consider implementing an option to NOT run the driver at system startup by default, and prompt for a restart upon launching the game? I would feel much more comfortable compartmentalizing my play sessions in such a way that the driver is never running unless I am playing the game.

While it's not an official option you can do this yourself by uninstalling Vanguard once you're finished playing. You can find it as "Riot Vanguard" in Add/Remove programs.
When you want to play again the patcher/launcher will reinstall Vanguard automatically and you'll be asked to reboot your system.
You could just sandbox it in a virtual machine, or just OS installed on a separate drive. That's what I do with with untrustworthy stuff.
If it works then fine
tencent is going to acquire every gaming company soon don't worry :)
>Chinese company is installing spyware

>This is good for stopping cheaters

>implying I give a single fuck about this artificially hyped """product""" from the CCP that looks like it came straight out of 2004
>allowing malware from chink Tencent on your PC

That is an insult to 2004 user
>viper's pit
i only save bbc porn anyway
seems shitty but I won't play Valorant either way
The average NPC doesn't have the intellectual capacity to do that.
when the NSA/corporations want to know everything about you to control/sell stuff better
At least then it's only tencent spying on you. Then you know it's all going to a single place. Right now everyone is spying on you.
What VM can do GPU passthrough?
When will they make me my own 2d lolibot?
Why is Yas Forums seething over every popular games?
