And it's still used together with client side cheat detection.

Yes, scanning of it's own game files to detect anything suspicious. It doesn't scan every file on your computer, dictate what applications you can or can't run and doesn't install itself at the kernel level. I don't have a problem with that at all.

Cool but this started with you saying anti chest should be server side, not that it should not be kernel level.

It was pretty obvious from the get go that my main concern is intrusive anti-cheat solutions.

Either way, the bulk of anti-cheat should be server yes, a basic client-side AC can exist alongside it to capture the most basic of cheats. Although entirely server side would be fine.
