Ignoring one smaller market while gleefully supporting another, Epic Games have announced they're getting Fortnite along with Epic Online Services Anti-Cheat on Windows Arm.
They won’t or can’t get their anti-cheat/DRM in as a kernel module. Would you trust that bunch of fucks to not screw something up terribly by trying to pop in something like that?
This totally invalidates their argument “Linux isn’t big enough to care about”. I highly doubt there are more Windows Arm gamers than Linux gamers.

So what’s so bad if it’s kernel level?
It is a potential security risk to the system and enables extremely intrusive control and surveillance.
It’s basically a rootkit.
They can’t even effectively prevent cheaters so I’m always suspicious what the real intent of these rootkits.
