RECENT ANNOUNCEMENTS

Giveaways?

23 July, 2025 - Sm:(e | 3 Comments

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone for your continued support.
I've decided to take part in a little giveaway experiment if anyone is interested.
I didn't want to apply it to this group so as to not obscure it's core purpose, so this will just be a little something extra for people who want to give it a go.

You can apply to join the giveaway group here: https://v1.steam.hlxgame.cc/groups/ObCgiveaways

The first group-exclusive giveaway will start sometime in August if all goes well and will be semi-frequent from there.
Feel free to invite your friends, even if they're not in this group!
Thanks to everyone once again. :)

Review cap hit and Second Curator

4 September, 2024 - Sm:(e | 6 Comments

Hi everyone,

Thanks to everyone for your continued support. I honestly didn't expect to get an almost 10,000 person following back when I started back in 2021.
I don't know how many people will receive this announcement, but I hit the review cap of 2000 and as a result will continue my curations on a second group curator. I'll be keeping the group for that private so all of the discussion, if any, will remain with this group.

If you perhaps have friends that follow the curator but are not the group be sure to let them know.
Thanks to everyone once again. :)

You can try monitoring installations using third-party software that track any modified/created files. You could also install games in a VM first or exclusively but that can get more technical and requires proper set-up. The simplest way is to just use a properly-configured firewall(simplewall is a good third-party solution for many people). Ultimately the most effective way is to just unplug the internet(and of course disable any wireless transmissions like wifi).

I ask this because of White Wolf's note about kernel-level rootkit for Highguard. I had installed it, played it, and deleted it. But is there a way to know it's all off my machine and nothing is left lingering?

White ⁧⁧Wolf 17 Feb @ 6:28pm

What's especially interesting and disturbing is that Highguard uses a kernel-level rootkit with constant access to their servers, while having deep access(kernel, which is higher than admin) to your system incl. hardware, documents, running processes etc. Then realise that EAC is owned by Epic Games who are heavily involved with China. The TLDR; you are giving them full access to your system while transmitting any data they want to their servers. Anyone that falls for this will need to pay for the potential consequences down the line!!! Already far too many red flags for me.

White ⁧⁧Wolf 14 Nov, 2025 @ 2:20pm

That's fair. I just thought people might not follow them as well, or even realise that China is involved with Epic.

@White Wolf There are already other curators that track EOS and EAC which I have also folowed for some time, I feel it would be obsolete for me to add them.

White ⁧⁧Wolf 14 Nov, 2025 @ 10:18am

Hey, just wondering - do you also cover the Epic Games stuff? Last time I checked China owns a huge chunk of Epic Games, and combined with EOS/EAC owned by Epic Games and their habits of mass kernel-level data harvesting from players, it would be something worthwhile to mention. At the very least games that use EAC or another so-called 'anti-cheat' with heavy Chinese involvement should have a warning about said involvement.
