Different scenario, but similar concept.

I’m a League of Legends player and the makers of that game, Riot, are adding a very controversial kernel-level anti-cheat system. Even though it is being portrayed as a victory over cheaters, the system is very aggressive and greedily collects information compared to other anti-cheat systems. Owed by a Chinese company to boot.

The experience has me going through and re-thinking whether the privacy risk is worth the convenience, for not just games but all kinds of applications and services. The result has been deleting a lot of stuff.

I feel increasingly like just refusing to buy or use certain software is the only way to protect yourself
