I'm tired with this anti-cheat trend. It's not a confirmation of any sort but still.. i don't want Dark and Darker to be "borked" for gaming on Linux.

With some many companies considering that option, is this far more effective for an anti-cheat ?

I'm at the moment quite sick of competetive multiplayergames in general. If you have to resort to malware to thwart cheating in a cost effective way maybe the very Concept of anonymous(as in playing with randoms instead in small communitys on moderated servers) multiplayer itself is flawed

Very good take. That's why i'm mostly playing cooperative games with friends on private server now. The situation is just annoying.

Malware implies malicious. It's not malicious - it's extremely intrusive.

Ultimately I don't give a shit if they have every bit of data on the computer I play games on: there's nothing there worth looking at. I do my private stuff on my phone. Gaming PC is for discord, games, and making shit for the games.

So I trust their root kit. They can't do anything to me there.

Malware just means "Software the user doesn't want on their system". Bloatware counts as malware.
