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.
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.
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.
