Kernel Level Anti Cheat... In a co-op game!?

Why they did this is beyond me! 😔

Oh no! Billy cheated his way to a new cape!! 🙄

It really is quite silly. There aren't even leaderboards or anything

Billy cheating made you unlock everything in 1 too, that's their reasoning at least.

And fair enough, but you need to install a rootkit on my machine so Billy can't get me a new cape?!

Lies!

It was a silly hat.

Because there's a real money store

So does Deep Rock Galactic (at least it has real money cosmetics via DLC, so maybe different to HD2), but they support modding

[–] Jumi 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but this is not about DRG

[–] merthyr1831 1 points 9 months ago

Point being, a relatively similar-themed co-op title that has paid DLC cosmetics, but wasnt fundamentally crippled by allowing modding and cheats (albeit in sandboxed environments)

It's doubly puzzling, because that component is just disabled on Linux and Steamdeck.
