    Ah classic Riot games, investing all the money in anti-cheat while their launcher lacks basic functions like “download throttling”.

    No idea how Steam keeps winning…

    Wow, that sucks. I don’t even know if you could get your money back for the CPU in that case, as the seller could just claim it wasn’t him. Doesn’t sound like Riot is being that cooperative in such cases either.

    Meanwhile I play(ed) on a VM and would frequently have to fight with support over: no, fuck you - unban me. Virtual hardware isn’t a valid reason to ban every few months. It worked. It was bothersome - so I quit playing. Ample free time for games that weren’t user hostile.

    Even if I’d ever switched back to Windows, no kernel anti-cheat would ever be allowed without some kind of isolation. It is just another data theft tool that happens to also include half-broken anti-cheat. I’m sure gaming companies have already started selling data for profit.
