If you need a kernel level anti-cheat system just to run a game, why are you wasting time and money on that game in the first place?
Games are supposed to be fun. If you feel the need to compromise your system that much then it stops being fun and starts being addiction.
- SvenL 11mo agoIts funny how „Games are supposed to be fun“ is also the answer to why there are such sophisticated anti cheat tools needed in the first place. Cheater do lower the fun for other players of course…
- pull_my_finger 11mo agoI don't think they are needed. Cheaters will always find a way to cheat, giving game developers access to low level kernel features under the guise of anti-cheat is definitely not a trade-off I'd be willing to make. If game makers can't solve a problem with mechanics or moderation, I probably would just not play the game. Most of those issues revolve around MMO things, and could be solved with private lobbies, self-hosting etc - i.e. not playing with randos on the internet.
- orionblastar 11mo agoIt is either run the anti-cheat system or get banned from the game online. You are correct, I shouldn't run a game that requires an anti-cheat system and only run Linux Native games with Proton on Steam.
- breve 11mo ago> You are correct, I shouldn't run a game that requires an anti-cheat system Yes, it's just a game. It's not important. Your life won't be made worse by not playing it.
