They can choose the server rules but I choose what code runs on my computer.

  My point is that they can stipulate to run their code on your computer if you wish to connect to their server — which is the current situation. If you uninstall/disable anticheats, the server declines your connection.

    That's what I meant in my first post that we need to get rid of. There is too much of this behavior that companies try to get into people's computers and control what they can do with their own computer.

      But, again, why can’t they stipulate requirements for using their services? If you don’t want to run their anti cheat then you can’t play on their servers, simple. It bothers you and (relatively) few others that they need to run a kernel driver to prevent cheats, but it bothers countless players when a game is plagued with cheaters, and yes, there’s some prevention done by anti-cheats. Call of Duty: Warzone has/had a notorious cheating problem and absolutely no anti-cheat system.

        > why can’t they stipulate requirements for using their services? They can and they do, but there is too much of this behavior that companies require too much access and control of people's computers. My computer is my private thing. It's like my home. No company requires to come home to me when I want to do something; they send mail. I want more things to work like the web: everyone has 100% control of their computer and web browser and they can connect to web servers and those web servers can have whatever rules they want but they don't try to get into people's computers.
