Please install my innocent game launcher, yes of course it needs to be root to install games and prevent cheating. I'll give you a free game if you install it !
What access toes it actually have? Or is this a flippant comment?
And does steam have the same level of access?
It does need root access to perform the task of a game launcher and installer
As to what it does and what access it has or what it actually does. We can't tell since it's closed source.
All we know is that it can read /write any file and receive /send from the internet
