==Easy Anti-Cheat Controversy==

On July 25, 2022 VRChat announced The VRChat Security Update. This update would force all PC players into running Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC for short) on their systems. Easy Anti-Cheat is a kernel level anticheat developed by Epic Games. In their blogpost VRChat stated the update was done to block the use of modified clients and to improve user security by blocking malicious clients.[https://hello.vrchat.com/blog/vrchat-security-update ~~<nowiki>~~[2]</~~nowiki~~>] While this update succeeded in blocking PC clients many of the clients were very popular at the time and offered many quality of life features. EAC has also raised numerous privacy concerns for how it operates on a user's system and what type of data it collects. EAC is also prone to crashing and causing blue screens. This update also failed to cover the Meta Quest version of the game which some malicious clients migrated to. Notably clients used to rip avatars and user generated assets.
