Be careful = Chinese programs which may potentially monitor your data.

[Clown Reemus]

This game attempts to install intrusive NetEase software to your device on launch. There is no oversight over Chinese companies and they do not follow any principles of ethics. Upon installation, your data might become compromised over a longer period of time.

If you do risk just to try another hero shooter, look up how to clean your device registry and of traces of any possible spy software. Do not gamble with your security!

I was going to try it, but at first I saw that strange anticheat, and then I also read that the game wants to touch things in the BIOS, and I uninstalled it in 0.3 seconds. Anyway, it seems like a copy of Valorant but more , and Valorant sucks. So I better not even try it, when I want to play cs:go, I'll play cs:go, this smells like

[Clown Reemus]

If true, this is even more risky if the game tries to access BIOS. No game should be trying that. The only times it is appropriate is for small indie games that are based around "experience" and, to that end, can sometimes try to play with your hardware for the sake of scaring you or doing something cool - but this is a hero shooter, it won't ever need to do something like that.

All companies spy on us... yes even daddy valve/steam... you live in a technological age where your data isn't your own and it's been this way for years.

It's far to late to act like you care now... you've already accepted this as reality the reason THIS game upsets you is because you're Xenophobic but just not brave enough to admit it.

Don't like it? Create your own game and release it and show us. Yea didn't think so.

This is irrelevant in the context of potential security risks, I am not talking about the game here, please read the opening remark again.

It is a Netease game. Marvel Rivals is also Netease. I've played NetEase games when I was like 14 and nothing ever happened. Just admit you are racist toward Asian countries and move on.

Microsoft Windows - monitors your data and gathers private information
Web Browser - monitors your data and gathers private information
Steam - monitors your data and gathers private information

And now I could continue... Everything is monitoring you, that is how internet works...

Everything he says is fair concerns. I don't agree that it's for fraud in the usual catch, but they definitely collect data from our gameplay, they hardly do it for good deeds. I have 1000 hours in Naraka Bladepoint, check it out, it's also a NetEase game. Here, too, the actual publisher is Netease, but on Steam another publisher is indicated, doesn't it bother you that it's hiding?

It is tiresome telling individual users to actually read the thread and not just state the obvious for some sort of immediate gratification... I will say it again and just reference this reply if someone comes in with a load of ignorance - the problem is not collection, the problem is the repeated distribution of said data, over which we outside of China have no oversight or control of. It might be lost to criminals, it might be sold to criminals. Whatever data it admits to collecting and whatever more it is scrapping, is a risk that can come back to damage you, your associates or companies around you. I am talking about that risk, not the fact of data collection itself.

You are welcome to look up studies and reports on data and IT security in China and why it is a high risk. Throwing around accusations won't get you anywhere when there is hard data out there, available to every individual willing to educate themselves.

fun fact chrome, your phone provider, internet company, steam, google, youtube, and many more collect and sell your data too (some of who they sell it to are Chinese companies.

Most of those are optional programs you can choose not to interact with.
I really don't understand the "It's the norm so don't bother" mentality when you can clearly still do something about it.

you can't play games without internet so wouldn't even be able to use steam, phones are needed in society so again, yea you don't need to use chrome but every other web browser also sells your info to Chinese companies, any type of online ordering even food companies do it which you need to live. the problem is you can't do something about your point was just play another hero shooter since they do it but all the hero shooters do it as well and when every company just not hero shooters and not just gaming but EVERY company does the only way to do something about it so to live off the grid

Chinese government is the least of your worries. Chinese organised crime rigns have outreach far beyond China's borders and have impact on both business and individuals in the EU, US and Asian countries.

Mf you're Czech. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CZECH. You don't have to worry about it

And if i go to other platforms?
Use other internet companies?
Not use any of the services you just said because there's physical equivalents?
Again what's this "I have no choice" mentality here?
