Riot is not implementing the same kernel anti-cheat for Mac. In their blog post, the noted that there are about 800 users playing League through Lutris. If they can detect this, why can't they just allow Linux users to play without the kernel anti-cheat.
I don't think there is a single League of Legends player in the world that wants a kernel anti-cheat. Riot did it anyway. They are completely out of touch with their user base. How are people supposed to trust a kernel anti-cheat from company that is owned by a Chinese company, Tencent.
I doubt the average game player cares about the implementation, but certainly cares about not playing with cheaters.
I am not sure why you're dismissing my comment. The less software that runs at the kernel level, the less risk I incur just running my machine.
People are happy enough that it's MSFT code in the kernel and not some random game dev studio, game dev studio is happy because it has fewer cheaters.
Or, alternatively, go play a different game, there's a fair few to choose from.
I think we're going to be seeing TPM requirements in a lot more things soon. Almost certainly DRM that requires TPM chips will be coming within a few years.

For those who cba'ed:-
> Warning:
> Microsoft recommends against installing Windows 11 on a device that does not meet the Windows 11 minimum system requirements. If you choose to install Windows 11 on a device that does not meet these requirements, and you acknowledge and understand the risks, you can create the following registry key values and bypass the check for TPM 2.0 (at least TPM 1.2 is required) and the CPU family and model.
> Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Setup\MoSetup
> Name: AllowUpgradesWithUnsupportedTPMOrCPU
> Type: REG_DWORD
> Value: 1
> Note: Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.
