It's a really fun game though so idk I don't care (about the privacy concerns, your opinion is valid regardless)
It's not just privacy. Kernel level anti cheat software opens up a new attack vector for malicious actors, e.g. your computer is less secure. Your system also becomes less stable and is prone to crash more often. This is all dependent on the skill of the software engineers writing the kernel level anti cheat of course.
Unfortunately, most software, if not most of modern IT is a house of cards.
I'm sorry to tell you this but once code has arbitrary code execution on your local device it's already over, installing an anti cheat that is 100% necessary in today's gaming landscape doesn't change that at all. Name a single game with non verbal anti cheat that matters in 2024.
Why do you need anti cheat in a co-op pve game anyway?!? 🤔
I mean look at Payday 2, it had a pretty big cheater problem. I agree that if it's not PvP then you don't need an aggressive anti cheat, but there should be some kind of "You're using cheats? Can't matchmake with legit players." system.
There is no reason to use something as invasive as a kernel-level anti cheat to do this, especially in a co-op PVE game.
Definitely, but the person I replied to mentioned any type of anti-cheat in a PvE game.
To be able to play the game itself and not a different game someone else wants to force it to be?
