Gaming Companies Help Promote Rootkits ('Anticheat') and Help Microsoft Take Control of People's PCs
As this recent powwow shows:
Valve's Steam is DRM. SteamOS is GNU/Linux with DRM on top of it. Many Steam games are promoting rootkits and even outside the realms of Steam many proprietary games promote DRM, rootkits, and TPMs.
None of this should be surprising, but one core issue is that they compel people to give up control of their PCs, even when they don't play games.
The industry in its current form acts a bit more like a cabal of power-hungry companies that actively try to back-door everything and smear people who oppose that.
The first step or the key path towards a solution is educating the public about it. █
