Comment on Microsoft is moving antivirus providers out of the Windows kernel. Hopefully anti-cheat will be next
Godort@lemmy.ca 1 day agoI’m not sure this will be an issue.
When a piece of software is checking for chain of trust, it’s done primarily for security or DRM reasons. The benefits of verifying this chain of trust would make it a little harder for cheaters to inject code and it would be an extra hurdle for pirates to overcome, but the cost is that everyone that bought your game with the intent of playing it on Linux now has absolutely no way to make that happen. I’m not sure the loss in ~4% of your sales would be worth the benefit.
