Anticheat doesn’t work on Linux (and neither do the games that support them) so I’m not sure what you’re taking about.

Most do. The mentioned rootkits don't.

I know idsoftware ported their key 3-4 titles to linux back in the glory days.

What else did they do?

Releasing the code on GPL was probably notable too.

Notable, true.

But i dont think the outcome is comarable to the TITANIC amount of investment s Valve have been doing in the last 15 years or so.

ah yes, decades of doom running even on toasters... but no, a store and drm daemon is better.

Do you have a better solution for cheating?

Don't play the games that have anti-cheat then? There are so many other games to play.

This is such an incredibly ignorant comment.

Anticheat comes with the game. That has absolutely nothing to do with Steam - you can have games on Steam with or without anticheat, you can have games on Epic with or without anticheat, you can have games sold directly with or without anticheat.

How is this not blatantly obvious to anyone who has ever played a game?
