Except people are going to still buy those games, still complain for something to be done and when the potential resolution is there, they'll go "I DON'T WANT IT!" and just cycle through.
Fuck sakes, some people...
Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support
echodot@feddit.uk 3 weeks agoWell yeah of course it’s optional already. If you don’t want that then you just don’t buy those games.

Currently kernel-level anti cheat isn’t available for Linux, so games that are released with multiplayer support don’t require it (e.g. games that enable Linux support in EAC).
If kernel-level anti cheat is supported by Valve, many of those games will start requiring it. So if you don’t want kernel stuff, there’s a real chance this development will reduce the number of available games in the future.

Yes but if linux gets popular those games will get linux cheaters and will be pressured to do something.

Not sure I understand - games with kernel-level anti cheat also still have cheaters.

I’m aware but games and players still want a strong anti cheating solution. There is no protection currently on linux for cheating.
