Developers will be required to disclose if their game uses kernel anti-cheat. This applies to both new games and existing games. Non-kernel anti-cheat is encouraged to be disclosed as well, but it's only mandatory for developers to declare if they're using kernel anti-cheat for the time being.

It's worth mentioning that many games use kernel anti-cheat on windows, but only use user space anti-cheat on Steam Deck and Linux.

I think it's absurd to think any anti-cheat ~~coming from China~~ isn't actively spying on you.

Our data has proven to be very lucrative. The companies that make anti-cheat are also the types of companies that would want to cash in on our data.
