      Same thing that happened to genshin when it’s anti cheats got compromised I would guess. Not a lot and everyone ends up not caring.

      Because normal people do not give a single fuck about the technical aspect of data privacy.

        That’s right. I’m not lying at all when I say that none of my friends care about privacy. It’s actually quite frustrating.

            Then the death squads will come in, and they’ll ask ‘how could this possibly happen!?’, getting fucking pissed or saying “we couldn’t have known!” when you answer, and offer an ‘i fucking told you so’ in line for the camps.

            You’re there too, because they tagged you in everything.

      It probably spys on you already.

      The company that makes the Overwolf game launcher is an Israli cyber security company that gets money from the US.

      Tencent spys on people for China through a lot of the games they own.

        Holy fuck I did not know about Overwolf. That’s the last time I download something from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).

          I think it’s kind of ironic you call your friend apparently a dipshit for not knowing something you also didn’t know… pot calling the kettle black & all.

            from my, apparently, dipshit friend (no, this is not the only stupid thing he’s done).

            Reading comprehension is hard. I get it.

            Yes that’s the problem, he doesn’t know a lot of things. He also doesn’t seem very keen on learning them.

            He’s young, so I still have hope for him but god damnit he’s stupid and a potential hazard apparently.
