I'm not letting a game company have root on my PC. How does that kind of exposure for something as frivolous as gaming even make sense?

Something that is "frivolous" to you is a passion or even a profession for others. Competitive gaming is a massive market worldwide, and it wouldn't exist without the ability to enforce a level playing field. Not everything has to be a holy FOSS war.

    "holy FOSS war"?

    Why not have a commissar sit behind every gamer to make sure they're not cheating?

    That's a startling degree of access to give to these people for access to cosmetic micro-transactions.

    But, I guess if all your friends are snorting coke in an alley, FOMO will have you right there with them.
