    It’s really disturbing how popular the notion that rootkit-based anti-cheat is a good thing is on the internet at large.

    I love it when a thread like this comes up on Lemmy every single comment condemns EAC’s whole anti-cheat model.

    Y’all are all right.

      While I am sceptical of rootkit based anti-cheat as well, I am also not a fan of how quickly everyone has jumped to assuming this is EAC’s problem and not a problem with Apex Legends, is there some solid evidence for that that I’m just unaware of?

      Kernel level and root kit are two different things. Please don’t confuse them.
