It wasn't even DRM, it was anti-cheat that only ran when you launched the game, and it's not like it was a secret that it was added in an update. Your comment is pure FUD.
- ubercow13 6y agoAnti-cheat is even worse. There is a peverse incentive for the publisher to spy on your computer that isn't there so much with DRM. You can imagine them thinking it would be a good idea to upload your 'suspicious' files that might be cheat-related to their servers for analysis.
- falcolas 6y agoIt was not a secret, but it certainly caused an uproar, which prompted Bethesda to scale it back dramatically. Being in ring-0, it has access to all contents on disk, and all contents in memory. What is actually sent up to Bethesda's servers could be, quite literally, anything on your system. It's why Sony's rootkit DRM (got it right this time) was so poorly received a decade and a half ago - because you, as the computer's owner, can't control what it does or isolate its access.
