Hahaha, how bad does your anticheat have to be that it bans people who haven’t even played the game yet? Or maybe its so good that it bans people BEFORE they cheat. “Good news, we dropped the cheating rate to 0%! We only had to ban the entire playerbase to do it!”

Anything sensitive is encrypted and I never decrypt it while running windows.

I bought Sea of Thieves about 5 years ago. Recently, they added kernal-level anticheat (which does precisely fuck-all to actually stop cheating). While that is annoying, I’m not particularly worried because the studio that makes that game is owned by Microsoft, and like all Microsoft products, it was banished to my windows partition with the rest of the spyware.

We need to start using this game as a unit to measure mismanagement.

“In total, the project cost us approximately .51 Star Citizens.”

Bloody hell, I spent a little over two dollars buying Elite: Dangerous (a similar space game) when it was on sale about five years ago and haven’t spent any more money on it since. I can’t even comprehend spending 10,000 dollars on an incomplete game.
