I have just learned that Black Dessert Online installs a rootkit on your computer to spy on you disguised as anti-cheat software. I encourage everybody to search about its details and I´m sure thats illegal on any civilized country. I would like to know CCP stance on this issue. And if possible a official statement. ---

> Now that we have covered what Xigncode does, there are specific concerns we wanted to address directly: > > - Xigncode does not sit in the background to idly collect your personal information and share it with others. > - Xigncode is not a rootkit. It does not enable a user to gain control of a computer system without being detected. As explained above, it operates in a very strict manner. > - Xigncode is not an ever-present virus that is impossible to remove from your PC. Without a game running, the software is and will remain inert. ---

I can vote my government away. But I have no power against a Korean private buccaneer. If the game spys on me it not only dead. I may even go to court. Why should i Believe that guy?. Do I have proof?. ---

CCP will do as they’re told if told to. This should be obvious to you since the takeover. ---
