> What is productive is calling out hostile behavior

Okay; anti-cheat is user-hostile.

Okay, the thing I want is to use a game that I paid for, play it on the machine I own, and run it without giving it any special privileges (certainly not modifying my kernel). I trust that you will support that and not be negative about the way I want to use it?

What are you even arguing? I am not here debating if drm/anticheat is good or bad.

I am saying it’s hostile to tell someone who wants to run software but cannot because of a limitation in the OS that it does not matter because it’s garbage anyway.
