I think it’s absurd to think any anti-cheat coming from China isn’t actively spying on you.

Our data has proven to be very lucrative. The companies that make anti-cheat are also the types of companies that would want to cash in on our data.

I think the stable hardware is a bigger deal than people realize. Windows is already a moving target for devs with all of the different hardware options. Linux just compounds that with the multitude of distros. Having something that the devs can target makes their job easier, but it allows those of us who are willing to get into the guts of it something we can tweak to work on just about any distro and hardware.
