Riot Games‘ kernel-level anti-cheat, Vanguard, has received an update that is allegedly altering system firmware to remove the ability of the user to access certain hardware associated with cheating.
Riot Games quoted one post discussing the anti-cheat, replying “congrats to the owners of a brand new $6k paperweight.” But how exactly does Vanguard’s new system make “paperweights” out of hardware?
They sound quite smug now, let’s see when it inevitably triggers on someone’s legitimate hardware.
They already probably did, and I don’t they care, good luck winning that legal case.
They’re Riot Games. They’ll always be smug.
