Surely there isn’t that big of a cheating problem in a fucking rally driving video game, to the point where you need ring 0 anti cheat?

Regardless, this rise in invasive anti cheat is getting seriously annoying. I hope the right person gets pissed off and finds a way to make them run on Linux for the sake of the rest of the community, but even still, I’ll continue to play single player experiences and leave my mental health intact.

Every single version of DiRT Rally has MASSIVE cheating problems

Really spoiled the online stages

While neither EA nor Steam ever said anything about support for Linux or the Steam Deck (the store page stated unsupported), it's still a dick move inserting kernel level ~~antichrist~~ anticheat MONTHS after release, altering the deal and making the product a security and privacy nightmare!

Also a really bad business decision to scare future buyers away, with Linux gaming gaining traction thanks to Steam Deck and the likes.

I personally won't buy anything from EA going forward and stick to my statement from the games Steam forum:

Another reason to just wait before buying a game, especially from large corpo publishers like EA!
Releasing unfinished, buggy games for prices north of 60 bucks AND "altering the deal" MONTHS later, rendering the product either unplayable or making it a security and privacy nightmare, is a big, BIG pile of BS!

Don't let the FOMO get you, learn from this.
Make your voices heard and place an appropriate review!

And by all means: try to get a refund!

...or this WILL happen again!

Every racing game (or IRL event) Some people will try to cheat to win
