The only solution to the anti-cheat problem I see is a Linux anti-cheat. Yes, devs can enable Linux support in EZ and whatever the other one is called. But those anti-cheats only work in Wine userspace. Pretty easy for cheat devs to get around, and get around those shitcunts do.
Edit: Another solution, though cringe would be an AI based anti-cheat that doesn't need kernel level access to work effectivly.
They get around the Windows KLAC as well, so it doesn't make sense to me for dev houses to require it. Cheaters, almost by definition, find a way to circumvent blocks, and I don't think that justifies my being required to install a rootkit on my system.
