Great writeup, and nice that they mention telemetry only once and work more with obfuscation than the usual process scanning, document scanning, blacklisting and reporting all back to shady servers, etc.
It's scary that one can easily get nasty anticheat software installed, even when playing only single player(!) games.

- wild_preference 8y agoGOG should really be everyone’s first lookup when buying a game. They likely won’t have the new release you’re looking for, but when they do, you actually get the standalone executable.

- atesti 8y agoI know, that's why I wrote about single player games. Many games have both and the telemetry for anti cheating is not needed for single player.

- oehpr 8y agoI'd say there are very reasonable parallels between DRM and on client anti-cheat technology. I mean, at it's most base, both technologies are there to subvert the owners wishes. Arduous people like me find such subversion to be unethical. Not that I don't see the practicality, mind.
