Seriously, personal documents? What in the ever loving fuck. Jeez, no I don't want to play your game so bad I need to prove it with a passport.
To be fair, they aren't specifically targeting this data.
Rootkits give the software unrestricted access to all the data on the computer. You then trust that they don't use that access for anything nefarious... Aswell as trusting there's no bugs/vulnerabilities in that software that give a third party access to that data.
Ah, my misunderstanding - kernel level anti-cheat is also a bit bizarre tbh, like people really really don't understand the level of control they're handing over to random games companies.
