A day we expected to come but now Riot Games have formally announced that their Vanguard kernel-level anti-cheat is coming to League of Legends, and so it will make it unplayable on Linux.
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.
@Chadus_Maximus@_Sprite Personally I go the opposite way… If a game stops working on Linux, I stop playing it… There are too many enjoyable games in the world to stick to just one 😅
I would never use Windows because a game isn’t supported on it, but plenty of people are like you. The more games that work on Linux, the more people use Linux, thus the more companies care to make their games compatible with Linux.
So yeah, this sucks, even though I absolutely do not like LoL and mobas in general (played for a couple hours and didn’t like it).
I get the meme of LoL players being toxic, but whatever, the more Linux gaming users, the better.
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.

the game sucks RN.
League players are such a special breed. “I don’t enjoy this game but I refuse to stop playing and will willingly switch to an entirely different operating system so I can continue to not have fun.”
You do know that you’re allowed to just not keep playing, right?
Pretty sure it was a joke cause league bad haha. I stopped playing when it stopped working on my system. I hate myself but not enough to install windows just to play league

Same. Bye Riot, would have spent thousands more on your terrible game but you shot yourself in the foot.

If your favorite game requires a rootkit to be played, you install it?
Of course. I don’t care if they have my data or not. The only thing I am not willing to give them is my money, because the game sucks RN.

I want to enjoy the game, I just don’t enjoy it right now…
