As someone who is pretty old and is a crap gamer - well firstly I only play single player so I guess it wouldn't effect me. But what's the problem with anti cheat? Aside from it being code you don't want on your machine. I dunno, I don't get why people cheat. Isn't it a better feeling when you just play and get good?
Edit - I'm not defending rockstar btw. Don't know the politics here. In fact last game I enjoyed was vice city on the PS2. I'm trying to hey caught up on everything I missed. But yeah, what's the problem with anti cheat?
Anticheats can be very invasive, they can theoretically scan all the files inside your computer (whether it is practically done, I don't know but it surely feels like it's been done), take screenshots regularly, send your hardware information, etc. So yeah, if you are someone who takes security seriously...
Rockstar makes such weird choices considering how passionate their fans are.
Which ultimately makes being a passionate Rockstar fan a weirder and weirder choice.
I'll just play it on Xbox 360...or PS3...or PS4....or Xbox one....or PS5...or Xbox S/X...or Windows...wait is this Skyrim or GTA?
