What would riot have to gain as opposed to what they would lose if they are doing something nefarious?

More than we can trust Richard Lewis to continue to cause controversy or jump on a bandwagon

Damn right. It's just a giant smear campaign to steer people away from this game. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that competitor companies (valve) are funding many of these articles/videos. How many of these people have Facebook/Instagram on their phones with no qualms? I'd be willing to bet a large percentage. And if you do have sensitive data on your system, you really should not be playing games and using it for personal matters in the first place. you're playing with fire if you do, and some kernel level anti cheat system is easily the least of your concerns at that point.

Only matters when it targets gamers

While this is also true, I just can't stand Richard Lewis in general.
About a year ago he was arguing with a child old over twitter and being a.... well.. bully. He was called out over it and just instantly blocks people that don't agree with him. Top class melt.
On behalf of the UK, I apologise for his ego.

why not attack his arguments instead of being a manchild?

He also assaulted a DotA professional by choking him out over an "I slept with your girl joke"; I don't know if you want to criticize anyone as being immature while RL did that.

Wow why do people hate him this much. I think that concerns about valorants anti cheat are pretty justified, regardless of what you think of him. But cool that you remember him arguing about something a year ago. Can you also recall him helping out the constantly bullied transwoman in lcs? I'm pretty sure you won't.

Valorants anti-cheat doesn't even work properly yet it has the power to do whatever it wants with your system. A major exploit could destroy/steal tons of your data or just start mining crypto without you knowing.
On top of that, your point of this being a smear campaign is the dumbest shit I think I've ever heard. The fact that you think people can't have opinions against something you like without being paid off just shows how much of a bumbling idiot you are. Richard Lewis has shit talked CS for years. He's shit talked Leauge for years. He's shit talked every game BUT he also gives them praise for the good things they do. You only see the bad things because you want something to get your diaper in a knot about.
Please use your brain and realize that no one is going to buy a PC just to play games on and a second PC just for keeping data on because that's such a stupid point.
Your reply is genuinely hurting my head.

Massive hardware ban wave happened a few hours ago

Hardware bans aren't too hard to get around and anti-cheats without complete access and control of everything on your PC also do hardware bans.

No anti-cheat should ever be this intrusive. I'm not too excited for the day there's some major exploit found and I wake up to all my data stolen and bitcoin being mined on my system. It could be a hacker or just Tencent trying to get a bit of extra cash. You're beyond moronic if you think this very mediocre anti-cheat needs that much control of your PC. It doesn't even work properly.

A really good article, very balanced point of view as well.
RL tends to have that but children (or people who act like them) who disagree call him a payed Valve shill (lmao)
