The problem is, this may actually NOT about anti-cheat. Just like, age verification is justified by “child protection”, anti-cheat may be a gateway to gradually take away the control over the kernel.
As some other people said, if they want effective anti-cheat, why not make it server-side? Maybe I worry too much, but the history tells us these companies likely not act in good faith.
Which i s why i really think it’s a leap to assume that hiring a single engineer means they are trying to modify the kernel. I really doubt any modifications would make it to the kernel for anti cheat. Server side or something in user space is very likely what they’ll be doing
