I sure am happy i didnt buy this earlier because of the enforced rootkit.

Kernel Level Anti Cheat... In a co-op game!?

Why they did this is beyond me! ๐Ÿ˜”

Oh no! Billy cheated his way to a new cape!! ๐Ÿ™„

It really is quite silly. There aren't even leaderboards or anything

[-] yamanii@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

Billy cheating made you unlock everything in 1 too, that's their reasoning at least.

[-] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

And fair enough, but you need to install a rootkit on my machine so Billy can't get me a new cape?!

Lies!

It was a silly hat.

It's doubly puzzling, because that component is just disabled on Linux and Steamdeck.

Honestly there were a few reasons I didn't get it, but I'll say the rootkit was a big one.

Yeah, that had me already decided that if I did get it, it would be on ps5 not pc. Though this move will probably make me do that in general for any ps exclusive game they make a pc port of.
