   @ada i wish gog didn't drop the ball so fucking hard, because then we'd have a chance at normalizing not having drm

     @navi@social.vlhl.dev problem with denuvo is the death by a thousand cuts, also i'd love to have an exe without the 400 MB denuvo VM

     @ada <chanting>cracking drm is preservation, because companies can't bother and will just let culture die if it doesn't profit</chanting>

     @navi@social.vlhl.dev at least it's not denuvo. if EAC shuts down for whatever reason the games that use it will either update (in the case of online only) or function without it (in the case of singleplayer)
     
     with denuvo, once their ticket validation server goes down every denuvo game will stop functioning and some of these studios don't exist anymore

     @navi@social.vlhl.dev In the end one major vulnerability in a common kAC will burst that bubble and make developers move towards server authoritative anticheat.

     @navi@social.vlhl.dev also as shown with vanguard, and battleye-- the goal post just gets moved to a Pi with gadget drivers + a vision ML model or a DMA + a PI

     @navi@social.vlhl.dev BE will probably not do that because BE doesn't need to by design. it relies as much on server validation as it does local. it's why BE cheats are less common, also why the cost is more pricey on the developer.
     
     in a way, EAC being as widespread as it is, because it's easy to implement gives a lot of malicious actors enough data to break the system.
     
     some obscurity is needed for sufficient security, after all you don't go announcing your private keys.

     @ada neat, normies now having 2 always-running rootkits to play video games (then BE does that too and it's 3)
     
     also wouldn't that just, damage their relationship with valve a lot, since steam deck? i was under the impression it was a choice from EA execs not EAC bc of that

     @navi@social.vlhl.dev EAC probably.
     
     I have a feeling they're going into the direction of boot-time kernel anticheat (i.e. vanguard)
