    You have the option not to play the game though. It is not like they force anyone with a gun to install this rootkit.

      If someone doesn’t know what a rootkit is or why it’s bad, then they can’t give informed consent to it. It’s not a free choice for 90% of players.

      Nobody is forced with a gun to play a game with a toxic community either, does that mean it’s not worth complaining about? Perhaps the article should mention the supposed tradeoffs required to police such a community. I say supposed because I’ve played far less toxic games than Vallorant and League that don’t require such invasive software. Perhaps Riot should do some introspection and ask why the games they make foster such bad behavior instead of harming nontoxic players with their policing methods.

        Toxicity is not only in riot games. Broaden your view a bit, perhaps.

          You’re kinda being toxic right now by purposefully misconstruing what I said so you can hit me with a cheap comeback.
