It didn't fly back then either, but it still happened. And if it was done for audio discs, which don't typically run executable code, I wouldn't be surprised to find it in games which ship executables.

Also, didn't zoom do something somewhat shady with admin permissions and self-updating? I'm not sure how you arrived at the conclusion that this couldn't happen today.



You're drawing in things from numerous other contexts that don't really apply.

My claim was simple. If it's a game from a big studio, it won't have a keylogger. This is simply true and has been true for a long time. If that changes, we will hear about it.


If you want to make your statement true, it needs to describe the past and the present, not make a prediction about the future.


Which is exactly what it did. No games from big studios have included keyloggers.


That's not your claim.

Your "claim" is actually a prediction, and I would bet against it with a less-vague definition of "big" and a long enough time period. It's certainly not a fact, which is how you present it.


Yes, it was my claim, clear as day in the comment I originally made it in.
