Helldivers 2 will use a rootkit anti-cheat, nProtect GameGuard (self.linux_gaming)

50/50 chance this breaks Deck and linux support, especially since the commenters' inquiries about it have gone unanswered.

Bogles my mind why a PvE game needs an anti-cheat at all - let alone something as invasive as a rootkit.

Source is the dev's post on, unfortunately, reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Helldivers/comments/19dp2qw/helldivers_2_nprotect_gameguard_anticheat/

Same here, even asked the developer if the Steam Deck is supported but they couldn't tell me.

Refunded it for now, might check back next sale if it works and the microtransactions are acceptable.
