Much like using a condom, the point isn’t a protection scheme that’s impossible to fail.

Valorant is the first FPS I’ve played where, after two years, I’ve never encountered a cheater. They’re there, you can find some clips… Until they’re banned. They’re rare. Counter Strike, Call of Duty, Titanfall, you name it, I would encounter cheaters with a much higher frequency.

So while Vanguard can be bypassed… I don’t worry about cheaters on Valorant, they’re rare and the cheats are expensive and annoying to use. Vanguard did its job.

You don’t mind giving up your privacy and system security to a company for a single game?

privacy and system security

The burden of proof is on the accuser. Show Vanguard doing something shady and I might care. Keep complaining because “it could if it wanted to” and I won’t entertain conspiracy theories.

I’m not making an accusation, it’s kernel-level access. If I know where you live, have keys to your house, know your security code, can change anything in your home without you knowing, that’s a problem.

Why are you so dead-set on defending a company just because you like their game?

I’m dead set on playing online games without cheaters. If Vanguard worked on Linux, half of this community wouldn’t care and wouldn’t rely on a fallacy of assuming it will be turned into malware.

As for kernel level access to the machine… Oh no, just like the third party driver I had to install on Linux to use my Xbox adapter? Crazy! That must be malware!

Yup, so you don’t care. Lmao you literally gave away the key to your house for an uninteresting video game. Pitiful.

Ah yes, Riot is desperate for your nudes. They’ll pretend to be a gaming company with international tournaments for years, but in the end you’ll be correct and I’ll be wrong and they’ll use Vanguard to… Steal my cat memes, turn on my webcam and hack into my local library and warn them I’m late to return some books. The tragedy.
