Mostly, and even some Windows users don’t want to install software that has such a great amount of permission over the entire system just for a game’s anti-cheat.
It’s nice that users can now know beforehand if a game uses such software. Avoids refunds.

It does prevent Linux compatibility, but even if it didn’t, it’s a computer security problem, for those who care. You’re essentially allowing different game companies to install a rootkit on your computer so you can play a video game.

Put like that, makes it even more obvious how insanely stupid some gamers are, doesn’t it?

Most gamers don’t know that easy anti-cheat is a rootkit to begin with.

is “easy anti-cheat” a brand name? Or was that just your wording?
