They’re trying to get you to move to Linux, but you just won’t take the hint, so now they have to try another thing…

Does the letter have a return address?
Could always use more free orphans for … various projects.

I am in no way qualified to be writing kernel modules!
Hm… Which means I’m perfectly qualified to work at EA! I should apply!

suddenly forcing changes into the linux kernel, the kernel that literally runs the entire internet, countless businesses, and governments
Of course that would never happen.
They’d just require some ‘EA anti-cheat’ kernel module to be present, or their game will refuse to run. So you’d have to install and activate that module in order to play their game. But there would be no need to modify any computer that doesn’t play their game … so as long as you’re not trying to play games on your internet server, the server is safe.

It’s an assumption that because they use the kernel in Windows that they’re going to do the same in Linux.
If they don’t, then it would be easy to do undetectable cheats using a Linux PC with kernel-level cheats.

I’m not so sure that kernel-level anticheat on Linux is really a good thing…
