    The helldivers community fucking hates me for pointing this out. Don’t buy helldivers, or any other game packaged with such bullshit.

      Is helldivers anticheat kernel level? I play it just fine on Linux.

        Yup. NProtect Gameguard. They got called out for it on day one, but then everyone was like “wow this game is good, so never mind!” Arrowhead CEO outright admitted to it but claimed it’s normal and necessary.

        To me it’s like if some company wanted to dig through my mail whenever they wanted and defended themselves with “but we won’t do anything malicious! Its to keep you safe!” They can fuck right off with that nonsense.
