Just wanted to give some context as to why the Call of Duty kernel level driver issue is such a big deal. Without getting too into the weeds, having a kernel level driver with an easily exploitable vulnerability is not just like leaving your front door unlocked. It's more like completely removing the door all together. Kernel level means it has access to the base of the operating system and can execute whatever commands/code they want on that machine. This includes installing whatever they want, copying whatever data they want, and making your computer do whatever they want. The fun part is that while this has been a problem on a smaller scale such as when Street Fighter 5 did something similar, this is Call of Duty so the install base will be huge as well as the number of people who will be motivated to actively exploit it.

What if we have them amend it to "colonel-level" security? I honestly don't know what that would mean, but it's an excuse for a bad joke. -Bloodworth

Hi Allies, First of all, sorry for my English, as it’s my second language. Just to give a little bit of a perspective from someone who loves Soccer (AKA the real football 😅)…the majority of the soccer players, fans, clubs and tournaments, they pretty much hate FIFA (the entity). In the past years, there are a lot of scandals involving FIFA, the World Cup and bribing. Also the teams hate to release the players to play in the National Team. For the vídeo game franchise, except for the name FIFA, EA has to deal with each individual tournament and/or players “union” for the licensing of the clubs and their players. So EA has to deal directly with UEFA to use the tournament on the game or the Premier League, Bundesliga or La Liga to have the license for those teams and players. That it’s different from NBA or NHL for example, where they are licensing only one tournament for the entire game. In my opinion (and the majority of my friends and people who love soccer), not having the name FIFA anymore would be worse for FIFA (the entity) rather than EA. Yes, FIFA is a very strong name among the fans and the video game community. But the soccer fans who buys the game, they buy because of the quality and the content of the game. As long as EA still manages to have the same contracts with the majors tournaments, I don’t think that would change. In fact, that could be even better for them because they will not have to pay for just using the name FIFA. The only exception would be the official game for the World Cup. Maybe we will not have the World Cup on the EA Soccer anymore, but honestly….90% of the player cares more about tournaments like UEFA, Premier League and etc then the World Cup. Having said all that…I could be wrong 🤣 L&R A Brazilian living in Canada! 👊🏼

Another detail that I just remember is that EA already signed an agreement with the FIFPRO, which is the organization responsible for the image wright of the majority of the players and teams in the World. So this agreement with FIFA is purely for the name “FIFA” and for the World Cup Tournament. There is also the fact that FIFA is know to be very corrupt, and probably EA is trying to disassociate from them, since they are “the official” FIFA football game. Lastly, changing the name of the game is something that soccer fans are used to it. For the entire PS1 Era, Winning Eleven dominate the market. During the transaction to the PS2, they change the name to Pro Evolution Soccer, and nobody cared about that. As long as the game maintains the same quality, the tournaments, the teams and the players the fans wouldn’t mind buying a game called EA Football FC or whatever name they choose. Once again, sorry for my English! Love Everyone and Always…RESPECT! 👊🏼
