"You shouldn't have to install a root kit to play a game".

I can't agree more with the video linked by the guy in this article claiming it was FUD and misinformation. Author is just flat out wrong to discount the threat.

Any hacker would want a rootkit, any nation state would also want this. Tencent has a convenient nationstate behind them, and a lack of credible history with human rights abuses.

Importantly, you don't need to control and lock down the edge to have an effective anti-cheat. You can do server side checking that is just as effective.
