As an Anti DRM Gamer who really does not buy Games featuring Boot/RootKit i wonder if itd be possible to consider somehow a Ban against Denuvo, VM Protect and all these other Bullshit DRMs that go into your System and arent just tied to some kind of Online Service like the Steam Store for Example >.>
Would that even be feasable in the EU considering that we got osme Stricter Laws than lets say the US regarding Multi Media Content :P
Chances are basically zero.
Steam should refuse to list games using any form of kernel-level anti-cheat. It is inherently insecure, reducing the security of your system even when not playing the game, and there is no way around that.
But they’ll never take a position like that for consumers. That’s what GOG does.
Denuvo is not anti-cheat, it’s copy-protection.
Sadly Steam is very much only caring about what the Publisher throws them Money at :(
Obviously we all care about Money especially Companies but atleast GOG has the decency of telling you to fuck off if you try to put any kind of Malware into your Game :P
Well except for Steamworld Builder which actually has some kind of Anti Cheat appearantly via Reading the Comments >.>
