I wouldn’t install anti-cheat malware personally, but I think many of the people who want to play these games care more about not having cheaters in their games than having ring 0 control. They’re extremely passionate about their skills and want nothing more than a fair playing field. Playing only with friends is not a real solution. Computing freedom means you have the freedom to give up control, too. It’s your choice.
