Easy Anti Cheat - requires manual removal

Wait, so this sketchy, privacy-invading stuff remains even after a game is uninstalled?! I had no idea.

How is this stuff not classed as malware at this point?

EAC installation process includes "registration" of a game, and the uninstall process "unregisters" the game. If all games using EAC are uninstalled, EAC itself also should be uninstalled.
