    They’re sacrificing privacy for playing a video game with moderately less cheaters sometimes when that works, not for security.

    And although sacrificing privacy is rarely good, I believe there are some situations that could be acceptable. Playing a video game isn’t one of these (to me at least…).

      Yeah, you have to be braindead trust a game developer with any kernel level software.

      I think a more secure solution would be some kind of virtualized environment to run the game within, which the developer could have full control over, but I doubt that will ever come about.

      It’s some sort of security (no cheaters). As a linux user I am a bit bitter because I wanted to play the new battlefield but oh well, my tendonitis appreciates that.
