I fthat is how you read it, no that wasn't what i was saying.
It has kernel access as does ALOT OF SHIT. Problem is that what it does with it is super sus. Things a game doesn't need to do.
All the games that have come out over the years. Like I said we only got an email about this particular one because of its popularity and sus anti-cheat behavior.
Shall I start listing the 100s of other games I have in my steam library with an anti-cheat that were fine?
Just assumed everyone left on here was smart enough to follow it to its logical conclusion.

Was this comment pointed at me?
Because I just pointed out that most anti-cheat are invasive and have kernel acces (which is a bad thing) and that Valorant's AI driven Anti-cheat Riot Vangaurd is straight up a rootkit which is even worse. And I pointed out that's one of the reason why alot online games aren't supported on the Steamdeck because of "the not possible to get acces to the kernel" and spy on users.
And if you want to play Helldivers 2 play it on Linux, the anti cheat can't do anything, the only thing it sees is a fake Windows 10 and once you close the game that fake windows 10 doesn't run anymore. It can't see or acces the linux distro.
Regarding the Steamdeck, The SteamOS is an immutable distro which means the base is unchangable and root level is locked down. The Root FS is read only so it's not even possible to write any spyware, malware or whateverware.
That's one of many reason why I use Linux Mint as my main OS.
And if you really want to be safe, use GeForce Now (or other gamestreaming service).
No anti-cheat on your pc then.
