Would probably also kill kernel level cheats.
Good, that would enable so many games as I won’t install any kernel AC. Even better if it helps people get rid of windows, more choice is always better
Can’t believe I’m saying it, but thanks Microsoft.
Every kernel-level anti-cheat is a Crowdstrike incident waiting to happen.
Honestly this sounds like the best thing Microsoft could do.
shit… now we are gonna have to say nice things about Microsoft…
Such a weird take on it. They should remove kernel level anticheat for a whole pleathora of reasons. Linux possibly benefiting means very little. If people want their game on the steam deck, which is a huge success, they already have to plan for it.
That’s like saying seatbelts for children open the door to more expensive college because of supply and demand.
Rare Microsoft W?
Good, AV at least had a somewhat reasonable argument for Kernel level, being a security program. Anti-cheat should have never been allowed this in the first place. Game anti-cheat is not on the same level of importance as AV.
I’m glad that this is happening, but there is always the possibility that whatever “fix” they have on-deck would limit/exclude Linux in some way. I’m cautiously optimistic.
Kernel level anti-cheats won’t change just because Microsoft plans to move osme safety features out of the windows kernel.
Wait, we *like* kernel-level anti-cheats now?
I actually like MS idea… Kernel level anti-cheats are not the way to go. IDGAF about linux tho.
