Personally, I don't even play any competitive multiplayer games so I generally have no interaction with anticheat one way or another. For that reason, I don't see myself doing the steps required to get EAC v2 working.
But, given that there are loads of people who:
- Want to play and enjoy these competitive multiplayer games
- Don't want cheaters to ruin the game for them
- Acknowledge that cheaters will ruin the game if nothing is done to prevent that
Then, some trade-offs are inevitable. Anti-cheat is required for that, there's no getting around it. That is the "good reason" for which the attestation is needed.
Maybe for you that's not a good reason - that's fine, it's the same for me, I just don't play those kinds of games and so the games I play don't need anticheat. There's really no reason to get angry with a solution that DOESN'T AFFECT YOU if you're not interested in it, but actually serves a purpose for others.
