Very, very disturbing!

Anti cheat software is essential spyware with a "we promise we are not the bad guys" painting. It has been that way for ages. I probably ranted about that here when I learned that punkbuster could take screenshots back in the days of, I don't know, I think dinosaurs were still roaming the earth back then. So yeah, nothing new there. People didn't care back then, I doubt they care now.

Yeah, but BE seems to be even worse than PB. Its been revealed not only all of the above, but that they can inject and execute code on your computer. The ultimate virus / botnet. The more I learn about BIS, the more I believe that they are not the same people that made Arma II. This is a new cut-throat version of the company. They're Arma in name only.

The question is, when was the last time someone took at closer look at Punkbuster, VAC, and whatever else is out there?

Not that I like the idea of anti-cheat software anyway, because false positives really suck.
