[News] EA expanding EA Anti-Cheat - bad news for Steam Deck / Linux - eviltoast

EA anticheat is a kernel level anticheat, which are generally bad for consumers due to them giving malware new targets to get full control of an infected system. Genshin Impact’s kernel anticheat is famously targeted by ransomware as an easier way to gain control of user’s PCs for example. They also don’t work on Linux, which is an obvious problem for Steam Deck users.

      Same tbh. I have a history with league, and always wanted to try getting into CS. If Valorant had less invasive anticheat I would have definitely gotten into it.
