The Dangers of Microsoft Pluton

Regardless, I think that the pc platform deserves a good anti cheat solution.

Separating the groups of those who have a good anti cheat system enabled (such as this) and those who don’t is a good compromise for everybody. I think more reasonable companies such as Valve will go that way.

Good anti-cheat solution is server side AI. Anything client side is malware.

I know that this is a popular take here, which is why I proposed that there should be a mechanism to opt out. But that would mean that you would have to play against those who opted out as well.

Louder for the Cheeto-dust-covered people in the back.

Anything that prevents me from modding or cheating in my single player games is anathema to me. And companies like Activision, Ubisoft and Rockstar would love a hardware-based system that takes control away from gamers.

I didn’t say anything about single player games.

I would like to have an anti-cheat mechanism (that works), not a god damned security-nightmare rootkit that scans and uploads my private files to god knows where.

Who needs to cheat in a Ubisoft game? Just point to the marker, walk, then hit R1 a few times, rinse repeat for 30 hours.

You didn't, but if the tech is there, it will be used.
