ohhhh what could it be?

So at the moment all we’ve got is speculation as to what Game Monitor might actually do, but from the placeholder blurb on the page it looks a lot like some sort of built-in anti-cheat system for Windows:

Gaming is more fun when everyone plays fairly. We’ll share system info with games using Game Monitor to make sure everything runs the way it was meant to.

Turning this off may limit the games you can play.

It doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch to suggest Microsoft may be looking to get publishers and devs onboard with a system check feature which scouts out nefarious apps installed on your rig. If those programs are likely to result in an uneven playing field then Microsoft might

end up locking you out of games participating in the Game Monitor system.

when false positives happen that can be a problem

any way this is possibly an anti piracy software? not that that will effect me unless like said above false positives appear.

Would imagine it would be both piracy and anti cheat.
