Lets be real, Windows - Spyware.
Your browser - Spyware.
Steam - probably spyware
Epic games - Spyware.
Legit any anticheat out their thats widely used - spyware.

Can't really complain when everything you use is spyware, would get it if your on linux, but luckily the anticheat don't really work on linux. So I can play the game, without this spyware.

If you play COD or Tarkov then you're using a kernel level anti-cheat software. Also the breach of user data in 2005 is what they reported and most anti-cheat companies don't report their breaches. As of right now there hasn't been a major breach like in 2005. If you're worried about GameGuard then the game isn't for you. Also windows telemetry by definition is spyware. The whole OS is spying on you but nothing happens to you. It is just gathering data and comparing it to their database in case something is off or not an official copy of Windows.

They've said they will not change the Anticheat. Nor remove it. They're firm on it. If you don't want to use it, play on linux or a steamdeck, as the anticheat from what I can tell, doesn't do anything on those platforms.

Yes, if it is spyware, malware, whatever you named it.
It would have been flagged by XYZ(s) number of Anti-virus and Anti-Malware and blacklisted for the past almost 20 years by now.

Spyware / malware doesn't have to be malicious to be that thing. Nor does it have to be picked up by anti malware.
A rootkit is quite literally malware, and all anti cheats are spyware.

So is tiktok, but everybody be using it.

[ah, salmonn]

it's all good, got nothing to hide anyway. But in case you are not aware, you're everyday life electronics gadgets that can connect to any wired/wireless signal are basically spyware.

I got a google profil and facebook.
All my personal info has probably been sold multiple times.

And my life is like the average citizen, so nothing to gain by spying on me ;)
