People really don’t understand just how invasive this is. At that point, if it was programmed to, it could pretend to obey your uninstall directive, while actually overriding your attempts to uninstall the game.
Yep, the other two commenters summed it up well: I’d rather not have software for a game that I play running and phoning home every time I boot my computer (in other words, a rootkit). I also am a Linux user, so they just don’t work for me.
Sorry I’m dumb. What are the reasons? You really want to cheat?
I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.
Oh ok thanks
“kernel level” means the deepest level of the computer. It’s like giving a houseguest a key to the safe in your bedroom.

Any normal program can do that too.

Could also be that they are playing on Linux. Kernel level anti-cheat doesn’t work there.
Can’t play them on Linux
