    I don’t think they will, as gamers have been normalized to root kits shipping with games. It is a shame, but - where the majority of the audience is completely indifferent - unless the anticheat is doing something overtly problematic like causing a drop in frame rates (e.g. Denuvo) it won’t be removed.

    But, as an alternative, you can play the game on Linux via Proton - it works, and absolutely doesn’t have root privileges. (note: I’m playing on the Steam Deck, but I see no reason why it shouldn’t work on normal Proton)

    (edited for clarity)
