I will always love Valve for their ability to use corpospeak against corpos.
Your game has anti-cheat?
Wonderful!
I'm sure that always only results in an improved experience for all gamers, lets let them all know!
=D
How does vac play into all of this then ...
VAC is not kernel level, because surprise you don't actually need kernel level to do anti cheat well.
VAC games would just get the standard AC message banner, not the scary yellow kernel level warning banner.
... I am pretty sure VAC games have indicated on their store page that they use VAC for well over a decade.
It doesn't run at the kernel level?
