Took me about thirty seconds to find that list.
I guess you lose your sense of superiority if you actually listen to what other people say. Making others do their research for them must be the way they cling to their self-worth.

Eh, never mind
Lmfao from the first name on this list I can tell you that 7 days to die is not running kernel level anti-cheat. You've illustrated you have no idea what you're talking about.
Kernel Level anticheat requires that it runs at startup of your computer. Examples are Riot's Vanguard and nProtect's GameGuard (which Helldivers 2 uses).
That was my first comment and all I did was share a list of games that have historically used EAC. If a game used EAC at launch then it’s pretty clear that its publishers have used EAC in their games. I made no statements about it being kernel-level or otherwise.
That said, EAC is a kernel-level anticheat, but unlike Vanguard it doesn’t run at startup. A tool being (or not being) kernel-level is a matter of which privileges it has when it runs, not when it starts up. Starting at startup allows an anti-cheat tool to perform more diagnostics and catch cheats that might otherwise go uncaught, but it’s also more invasive and increases the attack surface of people who have it installed.
