I don't like how companies treat every bad behavior the same way. I get its easier for moderation but they need to hire more humans if they want it to be good. I don't care for cheaters but what if this leads to a ban for having Plex or DS4windows installed? Just plugging my dualsense edge controller in windows does jackshit for enabling festures.

Kernel level anticheat sucks for everyone, not just the cheaters. Especially since they get so damn hostile over linux support for no reason.

VAC bans are manually reviewed and supposedly get reversed when they are false positives.

Why the hell would Plex get you banned?

we might get to the point where companies don't want you installing any third party applications if Androids direction is a sign. so long as companies don't want to hire human moderation I don't see how kernel anticheat will fix cheaters. This is what companies think blocking installing apps with features like windows smartscreen accomplish but that is full of shit. Why else are cheaters still running rampant.
