They won’t or can’t get their anti-cheat/DRM in as a kernel module. Would you trust that bunch of fucks to not screw something up terribly by trying to pop in something like that?

So what’s so bad if it’s kernel level?

It is a potential security risk to the system and enables extremely intrusive control and surveillance.

It’s basically a rootkit.

They can’t even effectively prevent cheaters so I’m always suspicious what the real intent of these rootkits.
