It absolutely is on Windows, on Linux all the kernel level anti-cheats that work at all (EAC, BattlEye) operate purely in user space with no kernel level permissions.

I dearly hope that it stays that way forever. Can you imagine having to input your sudo password before launching a game so it can compile and load some sketchy external kernel module? Fuck that!

I hate how obfuscated it is on Windows. At least if it asked me for sudo, I’d know to Uninstall. On Windows programs can just do anything.
