Unless you only want to play with friends then your choice for multiplayer is 1) cheaters and game is total shit or 2) some method to limit cheating.
The easy solution to rootkits is only use your PC for gaming. Then you get to play without cheaters and there's no worries about them spying on you.
I don't have any problem with rootkits - dual boot to play multiplayer games or use a separate PC - for me the only problem is transparency They have to tell you it's got one. In fact I'd rather Team Fortress 2 had a rootkit; I'd like to play it from time to time, but it's total shit being full of bots. Dual boot to play TF2 with no cheaters? Sign me up.

Your conditions are acceptable. I only want to play with friends.
Then you have nothing to complain about. Don't buy internet multiplayer games.
Couch multiplayer has always been the best multiplayer.
Fight me.
UT2004 multiplayer was so much fun. That kind of game is not possible these days without a way to prevent cheaters.
LAN party is couch co-op for PC. You keep someone from cheating by walking over and punching the guy who's doing it.
Wow you have 32 people you can call up and get them to bring their computer to your house LAN at a moment's notice. Bully for you.
First world problems I guess.
