    I am still baffled that anyone thinks that Kernel AC is any kind of effective at stopping hacks, people have been literally making a living off of defeating it, and selling those hacks / methods for almost a decade now…

    But nope, still got hordes of idiot gamers who think they work, think they’re necessary, think they can’t be spoofed.

          The cheat developers, yes. Because there is demand. The question though was, why there is demand.

            There’s demand because there’s supply.

            Build it and they will come.

            We have to ask the question if cheat developing wasn’t profitable, and even if developers actually operated at a loss, would there be as many cheats on the market as there are now?

        Small pp energy.

        I don’t know what energy this is, but not good either.

        Not sure how you could read this and come away with the idea that I do believe that…

        I am talking about the subset of gamers that go on internet forums and discord servers and make false, unsupported claims as to the effectiveness or necessity or Kernel AC over other forms of AC, tell people this just is how it is now, get with the program, eat the bugs, play the spyware game, its fine, everyone is doing it.

        Indirectly buyers are making a decision on anticheat. If someone buys a game with anticheat, they’ve made the decision to reward the developer for making the decision to include anticheat.
