Cleaning up files upon uninstall - Your uninstall script should already be cleaning up any files created or modified by your install process. However, we know that some older games may not fully remove files upon uninstall, and it isn't possible to update the game any longer. Players need to know if any anti-cheat utilities have left files behind, especially those that modify OS kernel files.

This section alone shows how stupid kernel level anti-cheat is. Play a game and gain a persistent security risk. It's actually a feature that such games don't run on Linux.

FYI - the owner of this site, gamingonlinux, was a mod on the [email protected] community until they were caught abusing their moderator powers. Then they deleted their account and complained on mastodon that it's stupid design that mod logs are public. [Screenshot]

Instead, here's a link to the official post https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamworks/announcements/detail/4547038620960934857

I am dreading the day Gaben leaves Valve.

It is clear, we need more research into longevity, so he can become immortal.

The day it goes public is the day it dies.

I really hope he has a good plan to pass the reigns to someone with the same integrity and philosophy.
