>installs a literal spyware that runs at boot with full admin privileges that scans everything you do on your screen when the game is not even running just so you can run this bootleg f2p chinese counter-strike knock-off from the 2000s
DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS! CONSOOM! GET EXCITED FOR SKINS! HYPE UP THE STREAMERS! CONSOOM!
This was known on day one. Why did it take until now for people to care?

Brenner14 15 points ยท6 hours ago 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. RiotArkem 34 points 6 hours ago 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.

And it will still be stupid popular and get tons and tons of attention. Most people simply don't care, and are willing to let things slowly side until they are being drained of every last bit of privacy and data they have. "I have nothing to hide!" among other excuses, even just not understanding or knowing, allow this behavior to continue and flourish. Basically. Fuck the majority of people.

Since it's a F2P garbage they WILL sell all this collected data to fuck knows who.
Also have fun when some tranny in programming knee socks finds an exploit and takes full control over your system.
Even Windows components get exploited all the time, but it's Microsoft and they patch all the vulnerabilities pretty quickly. Riot Games can't even patch their own client people been complaining about for years since it's rework.

YOU WILL ONLY INSTALL IN YOUR COMPUTER PROGRAMS PRE-APPROVED BY US
I wonder if there would be a market for making an anti-virus that doubles as a cheat engine. Basically I would be third party, develop the anti-virus that does normal anti-virus bullshit, but on top of that monitors for anti-cheat programs as well as malware.
And then I'd have a handle to it that games can connect to it. And then sell it as a service to video game companies. That way you'd be installing something useful as well, and it'd work across multiple video games.
