Steam store pages received a new Anti-cheat field. Disclosure is mandatory for kernel-level anti-cheat solutions. And recommended for other anti-cheat solutions (like server-side or non-kernel-level client-side).
The field discloses the anti-cheat product, whether it is a kernel-level installation, and whether it uninstalls with the product or requires manual removal to remove.
Not back peddling you are misunderstanding what kernel access means.
You don’t need kernel level access (the thing we are literally discussing) to kill processes. Which was literally your example.
Obviously the OS handles it. How the fuck else would it work?
