This is over not being able to install kernel anticheat on linux. However that same Apex anticheat was used to hack players devices during a tournament earlier this year.
just wanted to also provide an alt video link to the hack that occurred for anyone that has Ublock Origin or Privacy Badger enabled:
Apex Legends HACKED During ALGS Tournament 2024…
Yep, precisely why I don't play kernel anticheat games.
Considering 99.9999% of all the games out there don't have it, and I have a selection of games large enough to last a lifetime, I don't lose sleep over that decision.
I am convinced that kernel AC is… mostly on games that have a fuckton of cosmetics. Let’s see, who’s against Linux specifically? Destiny, even if it was in Stadia and that was Linux. Fortnite. Ubisoft has it on juuuuuust a select few games, everything else they’re happy to see on every platform.
They don’t care about cheaters, they’re protecting the micro transactions.
