Hard pass since EAC is kernel level.

That's kind of the point of my comment... Like, can Valve do something better than EasyAnticheat that can really compete with it without resorting to their same methodology. It would be great to move past kernel anticheat to things that (hopefully) work better without requiring (that much) additional effort.

There was an article a month or so ago mentioning valve was training AI models to detect cheating with VAC

That does sound interesting.

Wow, my apologies. I legitimately read your first comment as saying you’d prefer EAC. No idea how.

Agreed, hopefully it doing so without kernel level software will lead others to do the same.
