Basically every non-Western (and some Western) F2P MMO game installs a rootkit. Look at anything by Aeria, Gravity, etc. They're significantly worse than Riot's Vanguard - everything from all plaintext data exfiltration, copying clipboard contents and forwarding them to giant glaring vulnerabilities letting malware hide using the rootkit. GameGuard ring0 does not check or sign or verify anything and will load whatever you want to replace the data files with - and was completely unremovable, runs on boot, never killable, not removable with the game, not removable when the game uninstalls. Xigncode is quite literally malware and sends PII in plaintext, no TLS, to random IPs in Korea.
