Wouldn't be surprised if this was some garbage ploy by Microsoft/shitty developers to make Linux look bad for being unsupported to increase the spyware that microsfot peddles
You're right. This is pure FUD, and hopefully entities like the European Union see it for what it is.
They want a backdoor into everyone's computer who plays their game. What could go wrong??
I would not be one bit surprised if this is really being used for data harvesting. Anti-cheat is really just like an Android App trying to gobble up all your marketing details to sell to the highest bidder.
