Now if only they could more clearly communicate when games are playable offline.

Not all anti cheats run at startup. Some only run when you play a game. I think vanguard for valorant ran all the time at first and people were pissed. Meanwhile easy anti cheat runs only with a game. So it depends. It all sucks though.

That's definitely true, I probably should have been a little more clear in my response, specifying that it can run at startup, but doesn't always do so.

I'll edit my comment so nobody gets the wrong idea. Thanks for pointing that out!
