As I know, some guys like to play games with a group of friends, and some others prefer playing games alone. However, what is your reaction if you got to know that your computer is installed with a spyware to collect your data on hard drives?
Unfortunately, these immaterial eyes exist indubitably. World of Warcraft, the most popular MMORPG in the world contains a rootkit that runs spyware called the Warden on the client PC.
Through these spywares game developers collect players? information to improve their upcoming games, though of course, they proclaimed that the tools are used to monitor players of its games in order to avoid botting/cheating.
But there is no need for us to show too much concern. We can solace ourselves that developers are acquainted with law and they dare not invade our privacy. Theses ¡°spying eyes¡± will just monitor gamers¡¯ behavior ¨C there is nothing inappropriate, isn¡¯t it?
