Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat?

That’s a strawman argument. First of all, plenty of people would be happy to self-host a game for their friends, if they were still allowed the option. Second, even people who want to run a public server would still be free to ban people (for whatever reason they wanted). We’re not talking about being forced to tolerate antisocial fuckwads.

As something nice to have? I fully agree (and said as much)

As an alternative to anti-cheat solutions/“solutions” as was being presented?

No, it is not an answer. Because it would indeed be forcing people to tolerate “antisocial fuckwads” or forcing people ti find private servers to play with each other like in the good old days.

  No shit, Sherlock. That’s exactly what I was advocating for.
  
  I wouldn’t call it “forcing,” though – that’s another strawman. It’s “allowing” the option.

    Cool
    
    Also, it isn’t a straw man if you are arguing a completely different topic than the one the thread is about. But cool. You learned a word.

Exactly! Me and my friends often play on modded Factorio servers that one of us hosts. This is only possible because the developer doesn’t lock things down to only the first-party (official) servers.
