Let's take a look at the quote retweets. This is one of the more popular quote retweets saying "Riot casually gloating that they put a malware that can brick your PC if they feel like it". He also jokes about a "class action lawsuit incoming" as well.

You know, I had a dream one time that an anticheat would cause irreversible damage to a computer. They're LAUGHING AT THEIR ANTICHEAT. BRICKING! COMPUTERS! Thank God I did not play Valorant. Never play a Riot Games if you value your hardware or privacy.

They can absolutely go fuck themselves, what the fuck. I would be fucking arrested if I bricked someone's PC remotely, hell, even having top-level access would get me arrested. But billion dollar companies can do no wrong, no-no.
 
It's a videogame. If people want to cheat that badly the actual solution is to let the player base set up their own private servers and ban whoever they want.

No the corpo should not be squeezing your balls or pushing a shit into your property, and you should not be fine with the prospect.

I actually find this nuclear option to the cheating problem fascinating. They're hitting the hardware in a way that isn't irrecoverable, but will take you out for at least a day, and that's assuming you know how to do a OS reinstall. Is this overreach? Yes. At the same time, the targets are niggers spending 6k on a cheat device to become the biggest giga nigger in Valorant. It's kinda kino, ngl

Good riddance to people who enjoy riots dogshit on a plate titles. I haven't met a LOL player that didn't suffer from suicidal ideation.

I'm sure this only targeted cheater hardware and in no way will ever fry a legitimate system...

If they're forcing faults along the PCIe bus and it interacts with the NVME in the wrong way, the nvme drive can go into a lockdown/protection mode that only the manufacturer can recover from. There is actual malware that is less harmful than ring 0 anti-cheat.

If i were a Microsoft saar, I would blacklist their anticheat code signing for this. Reminds me of Sony installing Rootkits to keep people from copying music off of a CD

"what if we had the Patriot Act but for League of Legends"
genius stuff here
 
At first I thought "Wow, this is terrible, an anti-cheat shouldn't brick someone's PC", but then I saw that it bricked the hardware of retards that spent $6000 on hardware specifically made for cheating in online games and I stopped caring, and I don't care about the hypotheticals of "but what if it gets a false positive and bricks the PC of an innocent person!", we don't even know if that can happen, and it won't destroy the PC, it just makes $6000 hardware made for cheating un-usable, so what's the issue exactly? I think it's pretty based, if you read just the headline it sounds bad, once you actually know what happened I don't see why it's controversial.

I just thought of an analogy, imagine you have a guy that has an ASIC crypto miner hardawre plugged to the electric grid illegally, stealing electricity and not paying, the electric company finds out and somehow alters the electricity being used by that ASIC crypto miner, turning it into a brick, and then you have people online saying: "This is horrible! A company should not be able to destroy my electronics!", not the best analogy but you get the idea.

We have detected racially abusive language in your chat logs. As such, the Riot Games Computer Exploder has been deployed on all internet connected devices in your home. Don't like it? Tough shit, nazi.

You are retarded if you think that can happen, what you said is not analogous to what happened, the idea that Adobe software will cut my internet access for saying racial slurs has nothing to do with an anti-cheat system making cheating hardware unusable for cheating (temporarily), also doing what you said would be illlegal.
