I get the privacy issue but there’s effectively no non-kernel anticheats on the market. I think VAC doesn’t run in kernel level and CS is known to have a huge cheating issue, so much that competitive CS has spun off into third party provider who among other things uses a kernel level anticheat. You can’t be for client side anticheat and be against kernel anticheat. Non-kernel anticheat simply doesn’t do its job.

I can’t imagine how Microsoft locks down Kernel so that it’s also locked down for cheat developers (because they don’t really care about regulations). If it’s locked for anticheat developers but not for cheat developers then it’s going to end up being a bad time for us.
