The novelty of Borderlands started to wear off half-way through the first game. I wouldn't buy this one even if it didn't have the kernel-level anti cheat.
The only good thing to come out of the franchise is Tales from the Borderlands. That's peak.
As if I cared about getting banned or not. If I did, I'd fall in line with everyone else and join in on the pointless drama, which will die once the game releases and the same doofuses here will be guaranteed to be playing the game. Is it necesarry to add it? Who knows, we have no idea the lenghts the online features B4 will have but it aint a singleplayer game and there are a lot of cheaters that can ruin a coop game. GTA 6 will absolutely have the same kernel level stuff considering 2K's policy updates and ya'all are going to eat it up anyway. Pointless drama. Anyway, putting this thread on ignore. PM me if you want to have a proper discussion about it and you have common sense instead of 'OH NOT ITs BAD CUZ EVERYONE ELSE SAYS ITS BAD" just like the stupid mass negative review spam on the previous borderlands games. Clueless ppl will always follow in line with the masses. The kernel level shit is not as bad as you think. Anyway, peace.
