Helldivers 2 also includes a rootkit, this time as anti-cheat.

I wish this recent backlash was also spent on removing this rootkit. It's a PvE game, I hardly see why a rootkit is warranted.


You think people wouldn’t be cheating in a multiplayer PvE running the joy for others?


I definitely don't think that. Most of the time people are playing coop with those they know, not random matchups.
