The fact that some games now come with root kits is insane. I really hope Microsoft cracks down on that nonsense.

Given the kernel level anticheats inform you they're going to be installed, I don't think they fit the definition of a root kit.
CloudStrike was installed with user consent, and still ended up being a fatal rootkit. Installing software in Ring 0 is always a bad idea.
