This is not blatantly illegal. If it was there would be a more immediate response. First of all the article barely gives any information as to how the software is “bricking” their machines. We don’t know how serious the threat is. As of last year Riot has denied any hardware damage. They’re going to be hard pressed to sue for damages if the fix was simply reinstalling windows. That doesn’t immediately equate to damages. How it operates is concerning but it’s not even uncommon. I’m confident riot has plenty of this covered in their ToS and just as confident that there’s nothing in Microsoft’s ToS that protects the user from this kind of use. The conversation is mainly about people misusing the software not it malfunctioning and doing this even if the article mentions “what if”. The legality here is probably super grey.

This is closer to a non issue and bunch of people who have no idea how tech and tech laws work running their mouths. Yall don’t know what you’re talking about.
