    I can tell you why they do it. Which is to get installed at launch time (like a driver required to boot for example), so they can watch absolutely everything that loads into the system.

    But yes, I wouldn’t play any game that needs a kernel anti-cheat.

          Agreed. The steam sales alone could keep you so busy that you probably couldn’t even get around to test each one in one life time.

          Chances are if we tried we’d probably find one that you like equal if not better.

        I got a console when I switched to Linux. This has been a problem for decades now. So I’ve got one corporate game box that works with my friends, and one computer that I actually control.
