   I think what they're trying to move towards is, you never ever have access to game assets you can crack and then pirate.

   Absolutely ass for preservation of any kind. When the server shuts down, game is gone forever.

     @r000t @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage I kind of wish they'd focus more of the efforts on dealing with people who cheat in games more than banning physical media in general. Online gaming in 2024 is ass because of how many people cheat either it be on PC with software or on consoles with XIM , strikepacks , or cronus zen with scripts.
     
     Though I don't blame the lack of anti-cheat more so than people just being trolls / shitheads. But playing dirty is super prevelent among the zoomers and chinese.

     The latest fad in anticheat is kernel modules and I'm just not okay with anything that's not a device driver or a filesystem being in the kernel.

     It's attack surface. Signed drivers can always be loaded, even if the app they're normally used for isn't present. So let's say there's a vuln in Ricochet or Vanguard. An attacker who wants NT_AUTHORITY\SYSTEM can load the vulnerable module and exploit it.

     I know people are also like you could play single player games. But sadly even the neon haired trolls and Sweet Baby Inc. had to ruin that with their activisim agendas shoehorned into almost every mainstream game in the AAA space. The 2023 Game Awards showed that debauchery on full display.

     @r000t @coolboymew @mangeurdenuage One of the reasons why I won't play Valorant or use Epic gamestore. I don't need Chinese spyware on my pc. Though I kind of wish Gabe Newell would stop being a fat Jew and fix the non existent VAC that ruined Team Fortress 2 and Counter Strike... Well they didn't even need VAC to ruin Counter Strike they ruined that on their own by removing a perfectly fine game Global Offensive and replacing it with a unfinished game CS2 because they wanted the improved lighting for the casual whales who do nothing but spend tens of thousands of dollars on doppler knives. a.k.a shiny gambling chips for unregulated 3rd party sites.

     I'm personally not a fan of Kernel AC's for the fact it kills the ability for games to work on Linux and honestly I want to migrate away from Windows because I really don't like the future of the Operating System by seeing the shitshow that was Windows 11 home edition with updating your pc at will.
