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.

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.
