One person's malware is another's utils.

Riot thinks DMA cards cost $6k in 2026? Lol

$5.8k

Is that even Legal?

The devices are probably not bricked per se but the updated anti-cheat probably detects them and won't let the game run.

As per the thread, the hardware is bricked and requires a full OS reinstall

That's not what bricked means.

WTF why am i being down-voted.

So Riot’s finally gone full mask off and admitted their malware is in fact malware?
