The current fear-mongering and controversy machine in video game circles is the phrase: "kernel mode anti-cheat". Based on the hundreds, possibly thousands, of comments I've read the primary concern is that kernel mode anti cheats would allow video game developers arbitrary access to their machine I'll tell you right now, as someone who has written malware as a hobbyist, and professionally, I do NOT need kernel mode access on your machine to do the things you're worried about I don't need administrative privileges I don't even really need an executable file on your machine. I can do a gross amalgamation of LOLBINs, macros, and inline console commands to achieve the objective ("fileless malware") Those kernel mode anti cheats are fine. If video game developers wanted to spy on you, they could put the malicious code inside the video game binary itself and it would still have the same effect. Actually, it might be easier if it were in the primary video game executable because you'd whitelist it and think it's a false positive
