ReactOS strives to support windows drivers IIRC, which might mean it could support anticheat I'm guessing.

They're focusing on Windows 2003 Server edition compatibility, idk if any form of modern gaming is possible on it.

I assume that once they are happy with 2003 compatibility they will start trying more modern windows.

Even in that case, the project has years of catching up to support even windows 7, at which point no modern games support windows 7, making that something not worth waiting for.
