It’s only currently planned for PC, with no controller or console plans yet — and Mountaintop won’t necessarily allow Steam Deck to join. “Steam Deck is a concern as a cheating vector, and I think our anti-cheat systems may block it right now,” Mountaintop CEO and cofounder Nate Mitchell tells me.

Eh, it's also much easier to slap a client-side detector on because you can use generic detection methods. When you're doing it server-side, you have to rely a lot on statistical analysis and it's all game specific.

In the end you can, of course, reduce it all to not shelling out money, but there is some nuance too.

This whole anti-cheat is ridiculous and dangerous. We shouldn't be using anti-cheat to scan the kernel for cheating. If people are able to manipulate the kernel to cheat on video games well guess what... The terrorists have won. We should just give into their demands.
