Are we so desperate that we want what is basically malware ported to Linux? Ew. I didn't tolerate that shit when I was running Windows, and I'm sure not going to start now.
I'll just keep on voting with my wallet, and not pay money for such user-hostile products.
Why is this the hot take? Have we not learned from Cloud strike?
The current "anticheat" is literally just the malware industry. Companies develop a anticheat and then the cheaters develop something to break it. The longer this goes on the more invasive the anticheat gets. It is a losing situation where the end user loses.
Can't we just have machine learning models running server side to detect cheaters or something? Why do they need to be so invasive
It feels like a chicken and egg problem for sure. I firmly believe that people should be able to cheat all they want. Trying to stop cheating just creates more incentives.
Then online games would be unplayable. It's not a chicken and egg problem, pretty sure cheaters came first.
I'm not saying I support kernel anti-cheat just that I want all games to work on linux.
