Most people don't know what they're installing or don't care about their privacy, which is why there's not enough people rising up against kernel level AC's. Also, not being able to play until you create an account is much more upsetting to most people, than just clicking 'update' in League of Legends.

Does the rootkit install alongside the game like without explicit user action? That's pretty unfortunate.

There's a tooltip next to the update button that says something like 'Our Anticheat Vanguard is out now!' or smth like that. The rest is exactly the same as any other update

That is despicable TBH.

Keep in mind this is purchasing a Sony product after they already showed us who they were with the first rootkit scandal.
