Iv never in my life seen a game that controls it with or with out kernel anti cheat. The only time I've ever seen gamers claim a game has cheating under control is because the avg gamer has no fucking idea what cheating actually looks like or how it works.
Functionally if it isn't as obvious as a spin bot in a counter strike lobby or someone flying around with no clip. 99.99% of gamers are too ignorant to even make the claim if a game has a cheating problem or not.
Kernel anti cheat doesn't work, never had and never will. You can't beat cheaters full stop so long as they have access to the hardware the game is running in.
