!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Is there a way to remove it or stop it from happening?

 The only winning move is not to play.

Yes

Real answer is just that they're executing a process without setting the window style to hidden. It doesn't mean anything other than the dev is lazy / inexperienced.

Probably mining for bitcoin

Free game providers can have a little bitcoin, as a treat

Do you really want to know the truth or do you want to play your new game \o/

I always thought it was running anti-"anti-piracy" measures before launching the game. I suppose it could be malware too, which seems like what the meme is getting at.
