50/50 chance this breaks Deck and linux support, especially since the commenters' inquiries about it have gone unanswered.

Bogles my mind why a PvE game needs an anti-cheat at all - let alone something as invasive as a rootkit.

This post reads a lot like "we were too lazy to think about how to properly implement multplayer and security so we just slapped some malware on top". Shame, I would have liked to try this game.

Well shit. I was really excited for this too, but I'm not going to put up with that kind of invasive bullshit.
