I guess this isn't really the point, but I just have to express my frustration as a single-player person that so many games I could play are packaged with bullshit invasive anti-cheat for the small segment of genuinely competitive players. Like sure if the game is a competitive shooter like Fortnite or whatever (I assume; haven't played it), then fine I guess. But like, fucking Sid Meier's Civilization 7 has Denuvo. There is no fucking way on earth I believe even 10% of the player base in that game is playing competition-level pvp matches. I just feel like the number of players who would be actually effected by cheating in that game has to be tiny, so why the fuck do all the rest of us have to deal with that shit for the sake of that tiny segment?
