If your favorite game requires a rootkit to be played, you install it?

Of course. I don't care if they have my data or not. The only thing I am not willing to give them is my money, because the game sucks RN.

A rootkit could obtain enough information to cost you money. Paypal accounts, banking accounts, etc. A rougue riot employee (or a vendor company, or someone exploiting it) with malicious intent could harness that capability with negative consequences.
