Most of it is perfectly reasonable.

  • IP: Simplest identifier for smurf accounts, also very ineffective since you can just reset router. But public info anyway.

  • Game identifier: Obviously

  • Hardware dev info: More effective identifier for smurf accounts and more effective form of banning (and decent way to check if you’re in a VM, depending how hardened it is)

  • OS info: Different OS’s require different functions

  • Game and system files: Don’t agree with this one unless you’re incredibly deep into e-sports (professional). For casuals, checking game files: Fine. Checking system files: Fuck off.

  • Running processes: Checking for running non-hidden cheats

  • File names: Not quite sure what they mean here

The text at the bottom also states that it only collects this if it detects potential for cheats, which obviously is going to include false positives, but it isn’t constantly mining the data like other ACs.

BattlEye isn’t the greatest AC so should be fine anyway.

Microsoft even copied KDE’s motto “Simple by default, powerful when needed” in their Windows 11 announcement.

Banned open source software because of security concerns. For password management they require LastPass or that we write them down in a book that we keep on ourselves at all times. Worth noting that this policy change was a few months ago. After the giant breach.

And for extra absurdity: MFA via SMS only.

I wish I was making this up.
