It's not just silently installed by Steam, or something, they have to explicitly confirm they accept it? I don't play this game, I am curious if players are unaware or actively stupid.
Riot's games can only be played with their own launcher, so no steam. They give a big message about "now installing vanguard, our anticheat," then inform you to reboot to finish the install, since vanguard is the only ring 0 anticheat that puts itself into the kernel start up, always running.
honestly "installing anticheat" doesnt make justice to what it does
Yes
Some are unaware, but most are actively stupid. Bring this topic up in any helldiver's thread and you'll get down voted to oblivion.
I I stalled helldiver's and didn't realize I was doing that.
I'm not exactly savvy though.
