Just put it on consoles where there is no expectation of ownership over the OS, where it's expected to be an appliance.
Shit like this has no place in PC gaming.
That's exactly why consoles are exploitative anti-consumer trash that ought to be cracked down on by the FTC, though.
Oh I definitely agree. I also should be able to play games on Steam that I have previously purchased on PS5 without paying for it again.
But if the game devs are gonna push kernel level shit, they might as well have a console-like experience that exists independently of a user's OS.
