    You have the option not to play the game though. It is not like they force anyone with a gun to install this rootkit.

      If someone doesn’t know what a rootkit is or why it’s bad, then they can’t give informed consent to it. It’s not a free choice for 90% of players.

      I didn’t downvote you, but you pretty much are repeating what OP said.

      “I won’t play this game!”

      “Well, nobody is forcing you.”

      Yep, that’s pretty much the same thing.

        It’s ok, downvote means nothing. even on Reddit.

        Sometimes people don’t understand that the fact Valorant (or other F2P) is a free game doesn’t mean they’re entitled to whine and bitch non stop.

            Yea, beggar cannot choose. Take it or leave it. Free market will dictate it. People don’t like this harrasment approach? Valorant will die by itself.

            So many entitled brats, you cant even offer suggestions. Just criticism for the sake of it.

              Or you could see it as it is. A community that’s passionate about the game, and games in general, giving feedback to the developer about why their game might die so that this game or future games might be more consumer friendly. Only someone who is overly critical/cynical assumes any and every feedback is whining and complaining.

          Is it your opinion that free things can’t be criticized? I dont understand the position, especially these days when free often comes with conditions. Not sure if true free exists.

          He was just sharing his opinion, I think he understands that Riot won’t/shouldn’t care.

            I find it to be a pretty tired talking point. Especially on this thread where it has nothing to do with technical aspects of Valorant at all, it still needs to be interjected for some reason. Anyone on this forum already knows about riot anti cheating software, it’s just beating a dead horse now.
