disable gamed os x 10.11

Hello,

I apparently succeeded with this command

launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.gamed.plist

No LittleSnitch hits from gamed after a reboot; I hope it's gone for good.

Regards.

Fabio

Thanks. Finally, that did it.

I used the same command. I think it has stopped. I too use Little Snitch to monitor network activity. I need to go through all of these processes that begin on startup and see what I actually need.

Thanks

This does not work for me on 10.11.2. Apple seems to have "hardened" that LaunchAgents folder. I cannot do anything in there, even as root. E.g.:

[Sleek:~]# ls -l /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.gamed.plist

-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 1324 Aug 22 22:50 /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.gamed.plist

[Sleek:~]# launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.gamed.plist

/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.gamed.plist: Could not find specified service

[Sleek:/System/Library/LaunchAgents]# cd /System/Library/LaunchAgents/

[Sleek:/System/Library/LaunchAgents]# touch test

touch: test: Operation not permitted

This is really annoying. This new "gamed" literally tries the network every second, forever. I cannot get rid of it.

UPDATE: Ha! You have to do it NOT as root! Okay never mind. That works. 😕😕😊

Thanks for that. Was driving me nuts!!

Another way is to use Little Snitch itself, especially nice since its messages are part of the irritation. Just edit the rules for gamed, and deny all outgoing connections.

All the similar, but ineffective for me, commands did not work [10.11.4 (15E65) ]. This did. Thanks.
