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.

Went to buy my son and I copies (we’ve been waiting for this release) and was gob-smacked to see this. After reading about the monetization we’re out.
There are too many quality indie titles to play in lieu of having to bend the knee in this way.
If you’re looking for an indie alternative, Roboquest seems like a good recent shooter for two players. It’s on both Steam and GOG. Gunfire Reborn also seems fun.
These aren’t indies, but there’s also Deep Rock Galactic, L4D2, and of course the original Helldivers.
You are appreciated.

This is one of the worst ones too, I remember being used by several asian MMOs on the late 2000s that were full of hackers and bots.
I loved the first one and both magickas enough that I’d buy it first day otherwise. I’just have to play one of 700 other games in my library for a few years until they decide it’s not worth it anymore.
