I've just been playing BF:V and an getting kicked because the new version apparantly requires the game to be run under the administrator account. It needs at least these privelages.
Debug Programs
Load and unload device drivers
Manage auditing and security log
Modify Firmware environment values
Profile Single Process

Now I'm slightly worried about doing this just to play some games. surely this is a bad move to have 500k gamers all making their accounts a local admin? So what do you guys think the main security implications of this are?
