I agree with anti cheat in video games. 100% spyware designed as video games. I always install games like that on my PlayStation(lol)
However, the united states government did the Alabama Syphilis Experiment (that they like to refer to as the town it was in, Tuskegee so you think it was some far off place when you look at the name) and I straight up wouldn't ever trust their ass again either. (Shit, MK Ultra, Agent Orange the verified list goes on and on)
Different situation for sure, but same energy. The lack of caring and lack of any repercussions cause these types of things to happen over and over again.
Sony definitely knew what was going on during that shit. They were pissed that you'd burn your friends CD and get to sell copies of it at school and shit.
And yes I do use a PlayStation only as a anti cheat gaming device and would never put any information into it I wouldn't want 800+ companies to know about. They get hacked all the fucking time so I have a card that doesn't even work as the payment method listed and just use gift cards.
Because I don't trust them all the way. And that rootkit bullshit will always be why. You make it sound like they didn't know. No sir, check out the wiki and all the bullshit covering up of it they tried to do.
