well the game installs a kernel module without my consent. Isn’t that the definition of a rootkit?

Did you install a game with anticheat? Did that anticheat require kernel level access? Can you read?
I’m just curious what part is them sneaking something onto your machine that you’re unaware of?

I have no idea if the gamers installing it are “unaware” (I never played such a game), however it’s still a shitty practice. The average Joe has no idea what the hell a rootkit is and it’s predatory to exploit this. Also, no game should install rootkits. For the love of god, it’s a videogame.
