>I draw a line at supporting kernel level anti-cheat drivers
Especially given the poor record of video game companies to take security seriously [0]. Even Rockstar's cash cow game [1], there was the lowest of low hanging performance fruit available that was not addressed by any ongoing effort. Why should I believe that any game company rushing to push some release out the door is going to take their kernel patch seriously? Security is hard and Intel/AMD/professional kernel devs screw it up all the time.
