It's weird how collective action works so well but they only choose to do it for this linking requirement. You could get the rootkits gone as well, gamers.
Most people don't know what they're installing or don't care about their privacy, which is why there's not enough people rising up against kernel level AC's. Also, not being able to play until you create an account is much more upsetting to most people, than just clicking 'update' in League of Legends.
Does the rootkit install alongside the game like without explicit user action? That's pretty unfortunate.
There's a tooltip next to the update button that says something like 'Our Anticheat Vanguard is out now!' or smth like that. The rest is exactly the same as any other update
That is despicable TBH.
Keep in mind this is purchasing a Sony product after they already showed us who they were with the first rootkit scandal.
For the kids:
the problem with that is that the people playing thoose games have no idea what a rootkit is
This! God, please.
And they already got a bunch of new accounts
Like an emotionally abusive partner.
That's part of the enshitifcation process.
Brooooo this victory is an absolute game-changer for us die-hard Xbox fans, and it's downright exhilarating! Sony's constant blunders pale in comparison to the countless triumphs of team Xbox, and this might just be the knockout blow that finally converts those Lamestationers to our side. Brace yourselves for an epic shift as the unrivaled supremacy of our console dazzles and dominates, pulling every gamer into its unstoppable vortex of pure excitement and adrenaline-fueled gaming bliss!👊👊
Whoa, this gave me some late 2000s nostalgia.
"Annnnnnnd post!"
Damn what's that youtubers channel? I always see his videos around then I forget his name when I want to watch more.

Thank you!
Bounced on my boys joystick to this for hours
Great shitpost!
This sounds like a chatGPT post ngl
Lmaooo
I can’t tell if you’re being downvoted by dorks who don’t realise you’re joking or by dorks who DO realise you’re joking and feel attacked. Either way, sad, silly down voters.
Or by dorks who are thoroughly exhausted of the Console Wars and know it's a joke but don't think it's funny. (It's a dead horse with $5 armor)
Get back in your hole console peasant and Xbox shill
Thanks, definitely not Xbox employee.
The amount of downvotes this has makes me worried about Lemmy’s sense of humor
Doritos Dew It Right!
Phil Spencer, is that you?
Why is this downvoted, this is great!
