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 😅
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

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?
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.
W for linux

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

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