    I’m on the side of the attackers on this one. BattleEye is trash.

      How long until a botnet exploits one of these root kits and puts millions of high-end GPUs to work for whatever. Or a troll just fries everyone’s hardware for the lawls.

        Or they push a bug by accident that gets the machine into a bootloop? On the bright side hospital and airline computers don’t have GTA installed on them so the impact would be reduced to personal computers.
