  I dearly hope that it stays that way forever. Can you imagine having to input your sudo password before launching a game so it can compile and load some sketchy external kernel module? Fuck that!

    I hate how obfuscated it is on Windows. At least if it asked me for sudo, I’d know to Uninstall. On Windows programs can just do anything.

      I’m pretty sure games that use kernel level anti-cheat on Windows do need administrator permissions to launch (I’m not certain though, I haven’t used Windows since before this whole kernel anti-cheat thing started to become common). It’s just that on Windows it’s a simple OK box majority of people click through without a thought because of how used they are to doing it without really knowing what it does.

        They need admin permissions to install, not to launch.

        But, you know, so does basically any other application you install.
