    The weird thing is that people actually buy and play the games that requires them.

      People just want to play videogames. How would they know if the anticheat has kernel-level access without going out of their way to research it?

        That’s what I find weird, no matter if it’s a vacuum cleaner, a game or a pair of jeans of course I’m gonna research the product (and the company producing it) before I buy.

          “What the hell is a kernel? Like… popcorn?”

          You severely overestimate the layperson.

            Nah, I don’t expect people to research. I just find it weird that they don’t. Both the first link in Googles search and the AI overview of Google explains that question as long as you add anticheat into the sentence.

          Yeah, but let’s be honest: If all your friends are playing the newest Call of Duty, you buy that and play with your friends.

            People who know what a kernel is likely don’t have friends who play the newest call of duty

              Sometimes concessions have to be made for cross platform play with friends.
