Or bring server browsers back and let server mods handle it.

I've rarely, if ever, had a bad time using a server browser.

A more modern idea. Put all the chesters into the same lobbies through matchmaking

That does not detect things like wall hack and aim-bots that don't modify the game state directly.

Wow, mad because you can be held accountable. That's sad.

Thanks for the steam link!

4 likes on him complaining that modlogs being public is something bad, cowards that only want to be shitty in the shadows.

He used to relentlessly spam the /r/linux_gaming subreddit and argue with people there too until he deleted his reddit account lol

They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

That's one way to do it, but I worry less about those things by not supporting them with my time and money.

Making it super simple, it runs with full access on your machine, always. It can fuck anything up, and see everything. It can get your browser history, banking details or private messages you enter, activate your webcam or mic without you knowing, or brick your computer even.

And you can't even check what it's really doing on your computer because it's a crime under US law.

Finally, it can get hacked and other people than the creator can do all these to your computer as well,as it already happened once.

To put it very simply, the 'kernel' has significant control over your OS as it essentially runs above everything else in terms of system privileges.

It can (but not always) run at startup, so this means if you install a game with kernel-level anticheat, the moment your system turns on, the game's publisher can have software running on your system that can restrict the installation of a particular driver, stop certain software from running, or, even insidiously spy on your system's activity if they wished to. (and reverse-engineering the code to figure out if they are spying on you is a felony because of DRM-related laws)

It basically means trusting every single game publisher with kernel-level anticheat in their games to have a full view into your system, and the ability to effectively control it, without any legal recourse or transparency, all to try (and usually fail) to stop cheating in games.

Easy, a bug in battle eye forced me to reinstall windows, this kernel access has to go.

Adding kernel malware after the fact should entitle every single owner who requests one to a full refund no matter how long has passed.
