I readed that and i don't really trust pr talks, no devs gonna admit that their drm/anticheat is shit dude.

Why use a low level rootkit anti cheat on PC. They've killed their game on PC sales. I can't get my mates to buy it.

He lays out exactly why its 100% necessary. Cheaters will ruin the entire game for other players.
Not cool with it? Don't play. I'm thoroughly looking forward to it.

For a pve game nonetheless, not even a pvp.Why use a low level rootkit anti cheat on PC. They've killed their game on PC sales. I can't get my mates to buy it.

So all the other successfull multyplayer games without a drm/anticheat or with a less intrusive one are just lucky?
This is a pve game, cheating is way less important and from my understanding this is the most intrusive, shitty drm on the market.
I have the game in preorder but this is not gonna stop me from having questions about their dubious choices inside a forum.

Or turn off crossplay... assuming Sony will have this option or rip.

WHats rubbish is, I played Valorant and I made that choice but there were loads of my friends that wouldnt go near it. I'm looking forward to the Helldiver vibes but this has stopped my friends from considering it.
Is there going to be a Neogaf get together on this game do you know?
I might still pick it up if I can get a squad together.

It won't stop people from using DMA cards.

I'm going to play the game because i played destiny 2 in the past and that one had a similar anticheat system, but this seemslike they are just protecting their micro-transactions more than protecting the player, this system is not only intrusive af but also not really great performing neither.

Why souldnt they have one. High level anti cheat is basically useless and that would kill the game anyway including the console version since it's crossplay.

Read the post - he lays out explicitly why it's required in this PvE game.

It's refreshing to see devs with this much passion for their product. I may have to buy it for that alone.
And why are people so scared of anti-cheat? I wish more games had this.
I recently modded BFV into an actual WW2 games but because the servers don't have anti cheat I constantly run into Chinese hackers. It's annoying as shit.
