doesn't seem legal

I wouldn't agree here. Even if Windows does do this (which I doubt), there's no way to prove it isn't a bug. And there's no way anyone's going to sue Microsoft over a bug. Not only is that a gross overreaction, it's financial suicide.

If you don't trust Windows, don't use it. Or if you have to, use it on a separate system/drive.

Don't need proof that it isn't a bug, it's happened to me multiple times since Windows xp, all the way until the last time I tried dual booting with windows 7...

At that time, I decided if a game doesn't work in Linux, I don't need it. Luckily dxvk and proton came around that time

I don't care if it's a bug or if it's intentional. Fuck off windows
