I'm pretty sure Activision just claims this so that they can shut down the servers in order to sell their newer games.
there was an rce exploit in black ops 3 that they recently patched
and they don't "use mw2 from 2009 to hack your pc", they use a security hole within the game
take your tinfoil hat off
Or do you have to "interact" with the hacker?
CVE-2019-20893[www.cvedetails.com]
Edit: I absolutely agree OP.
just like no hacker is going to hack a pc because its running on win 7? they wont, but i still think its funny, people will make statements like yours, but yet when the convo is about win 7, all the sudden, the security risk is real.... lol.
They shut private servers for the game because people where hosting matches. They are just using this excuse to just kill the older games off.
Also I'm still gonna go with "You will not be hacked through this game." .
Win7 is a bit different because you can't just turn it off or not playing it. Sure the odds are still low on being hacked on it but the risk is there constantly.
If you ever decide to leave fantasy land there are plenty of examples of people falling victim to this.
I think you need to look into what an RCE exploit is and the threat it poses. And you're right, Actvision doesn't give a ♥♥♥♥. Scummy corporation, but I don't think anyone is surprised about that. Their practices are well known.
Anyway, I agree, report the game. Not sure if anything will be done about it but it's better to try.
Just a few days ago X Labs client got a C&D from Activision, it'd be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hilarious if it wasn't just depressing. Activision is actively malicious towards the PC playerbase.
