So anti cheat basically means, that a game vendor tells you as a user, owner and operator of a personal computing device:

I do not trust you!

Therefore in order to access my game, for which you purchases a temporary license to dream of owning it, you must grant me all required, demanded, or otherwise useful privileges to

a) inspect your PC, and all those somehow connected to yours
b) use all available connections and sensors available in your PC and perhaps your mobile and other IoT devices I may find suitable to observe your actions, including forcing you to activate or buy additional ones to make things easier for me, or my collaborators,
c) be given the liberty to grant, limit and revoke access to your PC, sensors, IoT devices should i determine that I don't like or trust you any more (than I already do not).
d) be free to reuse or resell any data collected and processed via your computing device, exclusively, because it's obviously my property
e) sue you for damage in my private court should you try to circumvent this observation or inspection

You also oblige yourself, your family, extended family, social network contacts, and their families and contacts to never
f) report badly on my activities, even if a bug of mine causes you loss of life or property
g) fail at singing my praises whenever you're not (trying to) gaming
or accept the full extend of any liability we choose to apply to you.

You will never accept any other definition or interpretation for a PC other than "Properly owned Computer", where all benefits are owed to the game vendor and the extend of your ownership is limited to carry all current or potential cost and obligations.

Did I get that right?

Support for more open OSes, and not rotten ISAs ? Yes. Even if it’s sad to have the need for these tools.

You shall play the games the way the publishers and executives intended, and you will be happy. Buy microtransactions. Buy progression accelerators. Spend more money. The only shortcuts are paid shortcuts!

Also, anti-cheat has no security vulnerabilities. *Jedi hand wave* None at all. Move along.
