That's not what I read to be the point of the post. The way I read it the question becomes: is it acceptable for a game to spy on you in a way that violates your privacy? Are your programs private? Is it reasonable for a cheat detection system to upload all of your running processes?

Doesn’t windows show you a “allow access” dialogue box somewhere and you have to agree on order to install/plAy game ?
