I run these games via GeForce NOW. There's no way I'm installing kernel-level proprietary monitoring software.

Yeah, me neither. It's gonna suck if they start requiring it on Linux though. I hope smarter people than me will find workarounds that allow us to pretend their shitty modules are running.

Just in case anyone is wondering why this is a big deal:

Unfortunately cheaters ruin everything

matheusmoreira|4 years ago

Cheaters aren't a strong enough reason to ship malware to users to monitor them. This sort of thing ought to be unacceptable.

This is 100% on the games industry. They engaged in an arms race with cheaters and now their ineffective solutions are worse than the problem they're attempting to solve.
