Ring 0 of fire: Does Riot Games’ new anti-cheat measure go too far?

Unfortunately the continuing spat between Apple and Nvidia, and the lack of games available, make the Mac a path less travelled for gamers.

Which is a shame, I'd love to use it for more, but it's poorly supported.

I've been gaming on a Mac for years. There are many Windows-only games, but I don't really miss that operating system. Between native Mac ports and the Nintendo Switch/3DS, my gaming needs are well covered. When there's something I really badly want to try on Windows, I fire up CrossOver, Parallels, or Boot Camp, in that order.

Right now the GPU in my 2019 16" MBP (5300M) seems to be good enough for everything I want to play, and the 5500M is said to be even better. Of course the problem remains optimization for macOS which most ported games don't have.

Apple Arcade is actually a ray of hope, even for core gamers. There's some good stuff on it, give it a try.

Right now I'm going to remove anything Riot-related I find on my macOS installation.
