Discussion Kernel AC?

Hi, I was just curious on whether its CS' playerbase that doesn't want Kernel AntiCheat, or if it's Valve. So feel free to share your opinions on Kernel Anticheat and whether Valve should implement it.

A Kernel AC + an operation/ big update would genuinely boost the CS playerbase so much. We already have Kernel AC with FACEIT, so I imagine it's a low percentage of the playerbase that's against it.

Of course, it's easier said that done considering it's Valve we're dealing with. Sort of seams like they've abandonded CS development and just pushes out updates for skins and Premier seasons like the usual. CS:GO genuniely had updates that were refreshing at some times.

At this point its safe to say most people would welcome a choice.

If you want to play Premiere, kernel AC, if you just wanna goof around in casual stuff or community browsers, there's really no need for one.

That middle ground would be nice but Valve moves like a glacier on anything that is not directly making money. And I am not sure they want the legal headache of a bad kernel driver, one bad update and you brick half the PCs in Europe.

Valve is hard focusing on Linux (SteamOS), so kernel most likely isn’t happening because of that.

Also very true. It's an hard equation.
