Warhammer: Vermintide 2 Review (Star_Lord_Sajuuk)
This game used to be fun until they decided to force an "anti-cheat" service that would install a kernel-level spyware. This is from the software license:

Why are they so paranoid about cheaters on a PVE game? Cheating was never an issue with PVE only games. Last I checked, there was not a single game mode that pitched player against player! That alone tells you this has nothing to do with catching cheaters, but about something else and possibly something nefarious. Don't buy, don't play. Until these companies learn that installing invasive and possibly ILLEGAL software onto our computers is way out of line, then they will never stop.
