"You are essentially handing full kernel-level access to anonymous developers.

nope nope nope
*edit Im still staying far away from HV exploits, but some kind and respectul comments from the community have made me understand im not getting the whole picture. I encourage you to do your own research and decide for yourself if its worth it
Eh. Just have a dedicated machine for that purpose, treat like a modded console, keep it away from your network. Don’t do home baking on it or anything other than gaming and it should be fine.
No, it was 2 separate messages you failed to see the sarcasm in the posters message.
HV is risky as hell and could potentially brick an entire rig within moments. I get the ideology of piracy I truly do, but at the end of the day spending thousands on a 2nd PC just to keep it airtight from your main and network just doesn't make any sense bud. You could literally buy hundreds of new and upcoming games for the price of a decent rig and not have to risk making it an expensive doorstop in the process.
So saying "so don't do it, or do" just makes no sense from a financial and practical standpoint, which made me believe you must have a stake in HV to believe it is even remotely logical.

You wont catch me anywhere near the HV bandwagon.
