seems like most of the games I loved as a kid are now forcing users to install kernel-level software to play:
"kernel level AC is going to be the norm for competitive online games moving forward"
guess I have to stop giving money to these companies then. that's a shame.

Yeah its absurd.
It seems retarded.
I've seen it, and hate it. I try and avoid playing games that require those to be installed :(
Apparently for the new call of duty (I hope I'm not mistaken but I'm not certain) the anti-cheat will require secure boot, meaning some Linux distros will be excluded from dual boot
yeah. the total control and surveillance trend is bumming me out.
All the “anti-cheat” stuff is a loosing battle anyway. They all get cracked. But I’m sure the companies don’t care, it’s a great excuse to basically put monitoring software on people personal computers.
Wouldn’t be surprised us government was in some way benefiting from all this.
waiting on the legendary open-source gaming revolution 🤞

Ah so that's why my battlefield 6 bot needs kernel level patches..
EAC and Battleye actually work on Linux.
Javelin doesn't, as that's basically EA's very own clone of Ricoshit (I mean Ricochet).
