Yes, you have to make compromises.
It's always a balance of benefit-risk.

But when it comes to a video game there is almost no benefit which would justify this lack of privacy.


There is a good reason why Punkbuster don't make screenshots while the game is minimized.

PS:
Removing this "feature" would be an improve!

Actually the "edit" button is removed?

Normal users cannot edit posts on "News".

Assist just came back, some things can be changed but now the focus is on making everything OK and stable,
ELiZ is almost alone doing things for Assist, let's give him time to Live his life and do things that he might really enjoy.

fyi, AC doesn't even work atm.

Someone else stated it before:
No game is it worth to run such a risk.

That's your opinion. That's why there's the choice between 'agree' and 'don't agree'.
But I see already 50 players that think the game is worth it

So if i'm right, assist only takes screenshots when you're logged in on assist? And when you're logged out it stops?
Need to know for my cheats...

Impressive job, didn't expect it to be live early today

You just lost more players, good job assist.

The ''video game'' who is going into your privacy is just wrong.
You taking that kind of risk? If anything happens or any more complains towards assist its in your hands of being shut down again. Why risk even more? You will loose more players when the obj of the game was and is to bring players back. Those who is playing right now are really idiots and don't be angry at me because it's an obvious true fact. You are giving your privacy to the admins of assist who you don't really know and who is allowed to get into your pc anytime you play America's Army. Terms of Agreement doesn't really tell that, I bet many people don't even know what that means, like for example TOS and you should at least explain that players privacy will be looked. Sorry guys but you will lose more an more players, and only an idiots who is willing to give their privacy just to play a ''video game''. You guys just don't know what you are going to. I am the coder/the hacker and I know what risk it is to give your privacy.  After losing trust of the players you are doing it again without being cared of being trusted again. Your ACI shit is just wrong, there are many ways in which you can solve the security of Assist. There will always be someone who is going to bypass your system, I know that because I worked for AA3 before, that's why AA3 nor AA4 not using such a shit stuff like you guys do. For ''AA2.5'' you getting into privacy of people, and I really don't care how much of our privacy you get. Sorry but I thought I play the game again but seems like not...

The risk is huge for both, players and the admins.

You guys just don't learn from your own mistakes.

You can't just make screenshots of players desktop outside of the game. Period.

And no, existance of TOS does not change anything. TOS doesn't magically make illegal things legal.
