    CrowdStrike was unheard of outside of the corporate world before the ordeal and tbh nobody has ever heard of it afterwards again.

    Maybe you’re not coming across them regularly but they’re well known outside the corporate world - not to the extent of Microsoft but it’s not the last time they’ll be in the spotlight.

    but I do NOT see how a video game needs to have an anti cheat with a kernel module. How does that benefit me, the customer paying to be able to play said video game?

    It doesn’t but they don’t care. People still buy the game and they make lots of money. They have no reason to stop doing it. Unfortunately, you’re in the minority of those who care and will avoid installing a game if it has kernel anti-cheat.
