  Does it still require a kernel level root kit?

    You can play it on Linux, and from what I hear the anti cheat isn’t as invasive. I don’t need to use sudo to run the game.

      I only use Linux, however I’m boycotting any game that ships a kernel level root kit as a matter of principle

    It’s not exactly a rootkit - if you just don’t agree to the UAC prompt while it’s installing, it’ll refuse to install rather than doing the thing that makes it definitionally a rootkit and managing to gain admin access without the user’s permission - but the game does still require kernel-level anti-cheat.
