This software will not solve the problem - and is probably not even meant to. The company is likely harvesting data to abuse users or sell it.

No extent of privacy invasion will solve cheating. I have made - as a fun university project - demo cheats that do not even need to run on the same computer as the game. They give significant competitive advantage, and detection systems give too many false-positives to even begin to counter these.

You are yet another one who don’t play any competitive multiplayer games and fail to see the benefit on anti-cheat software.

and is probably not even meant to.

You are 100% wrong.

I have played in online and offline CS and Overwatch tournaments. My team won prizes. We had a wonderful anti-cheat measure: reputation and respect.

LAN parties with people you know is a different thing.

Yeah, unfortunately both reputation and respect is dead in (most) online multiplayer games. LAN and Esports is a completely different thing.
