I really don't understand people that want to play games so badly that they are willing to install a literal rootkit on their devices. I can understand if you're a pro gamer but it feels stupid to do it otherwise.

Most of the time they're not really informed that they are. I know Valorant does (Riot Games), one I've avoided in the past because of it.

But a lot of the time it's peer-pressure for wanting to play with friends who couldn't care less.
