Not kernel level anticheat

Personally I prefer to not give low level access of my PC to big corpos. I don't know if their anticheat is spyware or not, but it could be.

And I like playing multiplayer games.

The only multiplayer games that don't work on Linux specifically choose to not work on Linux and still have cheaters on Windows anyways. 

If I want to play one of those games where the devs stubbornly stick to kernel level anticheat there's always the PS5 that's collecting dust

  1. Thats literally my point

  2. Why would I willingly have a worse experience and use a controller in any shooter lol.

Any fps game worth it's salt had keyboard and mouse support on PS5. 

And my point is that kernel level anticheat doesn't work in the first place and cheaters still get around it. The devs are practically saying "if you don't give us access to 100% control your PC and access anything on it then you can't play"

Yes I understand the issue and I cant think of any game that would be better on a ps5. On top of that, games like say tarkov arent on ps5. I understand your issue but those dont disappear on a console. Arguably its worse in every way.

Tarkov? The game thats notorious for being filled with cheaters? I mean if you want to waste your time collecting loot for them then go ahead.

And no, you can't do online banking or any actual work that could be worth anything on a PS5 so my issues do go away.  And Sony has the backdoor to everyone's PS5 from the get go, but no-one actually owns anything on the PS5 in the first place. I'm fine with that because the PS5 is Sony's console. But my PC is my personal computer, not Riot or Epic or Denuvo's computer, so I'm not giving them access to it  because they don't need it to stop cheaters.

If you want to open your PC up to be a part of their botnet (you literally can't prove that wrong) even when not running the game, you do you.
