Reposting my other comment from another thread:

How invasive do you have to be to ask your users to install a Kernel driver just for a stupid anti cheat that will still get bypassed within a week.. like... I only see negative points with this. Cheaters still exist on Valorant and they won't go away any time soon. Even if one day they ask you to change your CPU to an anti cheat approved one, it will still get bypassed.

These Kernel anti cheats are useless because they run on the client side. As a developer, anything that doesn't run on your computers is out of your control.

Which raises the point, why don't they just improve their server side cheat detection? Something like sending the mouse movement data + accuracy etc. in between each round and scan it. If it comes out positive then have the community review the footage. CSGO does this very well IMO. Especially since now we have AI and people have made pretty good cheat analysis models for server side anti cheats

Because anti-cheat isn't the point. They're trying to get you used to installing invasive spyware on your machine in exchange for a little temporary Privelege.
