Chinese Spyware

Yeah, uh, think again bucko. Spyware in Microsoft is 100% home grown American, like God intended.

That's Sam Altman's data, and he will pen a very weepy Op-Ed in the Washington Post if he thinks for a single second that the filthy yellow dragon of the East might be trivially bypassing his lowest bidder security setup to download a trillion petabytes of Esports fast-clicker metadata plus all your credit card info.

    I believe they're talking about the FPS games invasive anticheat, not windows itself. Examples include Vanguard, EasyAnticheat, Battleye, Duenvo etc.

    Also they come from all around the globe, not specifically China. (Though technically there are ones from China, but those are made for games with a Chinese audience)

    I'm sure the Blizzard/Activision game portal is also trying to suck out all my client data like a depressurizing spaceship.

    That's even worse! Stop stealing our games, China!

    To my knowledge, Denuvo is not an anticheat nor is it invasive. It's an always online DRM with a grace period inbetween check-ins.
