I mean, yeah, Proton does have EasyAntiCheat Runtime but I wondered because it says kernel level anti-cheat. Though I know a couple games that run fine on Linux even though their Steam page states kernel level anti-cheat, so maybe that's not a problem at all. But I guess we have rights to have suspicions.
Oh yea no doubt.
The whole anti cheat thing is so damn silly anyways.
Kernel level anti cheat only really became necessary after we destroyed user hostable servers and mods that could just kick and ban cheaters.
Could have easily expanded that system and lets humans be the anti cheat. Would have educated a bunch of people and brought us all closer by watching each other's digital backs..
But nah you need to let EA access your systems most vulnerable parts after reading that Bobby Kotick and Jeffrey Epstein were indoctrinating kids into the economy via CoD points.
Love this world
Edit: I know Bobby Kotick and EA are not literally related, point is I don't trust any of these people.
