I was looking foward to getting PSU for the PC but then I came across articles about GameGuard. I have never played a game with GG before so I wanted other people's opinions about it.

Is it as bad as people make it out to be? I hear it's like a root kit that hides in your system and is a security threat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameGuard has some stuff to say about it.

If it really is so bad then I'm afraid I will not be able to play PSU, but I may just be worried for nothing. Any PC techs or others who expierenced GG have anything to say?

I do believe this is thead number 3 about this in the past 24 hours.

Short answer, no. Don't worry about it.

So sorry, didn't know there was other topics about this.

I just am very paranoid when it comes to my PC >.>

I have had more then enough games with GameGuard on it. Trust me, if there was something bad about it, then everyone would know and do something about it. It just prevents cheating, which is bad for the cheaters. So sometimes they make it seem bad, which it is for them, but good for us.

Kinda see what I am saying? I bet a cheater wrote that part of the article. XD
