How is that a win. I, among many other people, am now forced to use windows to play my favorite game. I am not going to stop playing so the only choice is to stop using Linux.
If your favorite game requires a rootkit to be played, you install it?
Of course. I don’t care if they gave my data or not. The only thing I am not willing to give them is my money, because the game sucks RN.
A rootkit could obtain enough information to cost you money. Paypal accounts, banking accounts, etc. A rougue riot employee (or a vendor company, or someone exploiting it) with malicious intent could harness that capability with negative consequences.
