Why does a fully cooperative game needs an anti-cheat software in the first place. I don't give a fuck about cheaters as long as its not competitive. Deep rock galactic for example works great without all of this bullshit.

To prevent people from spawning in unreleased content that is in the game, giving their group the maximum cap of in-game currency, and so on. Tamps down on the boosting market.

Exactly. That's why I play with cross play off on PS5, but I also think PC players shouldn't get locked out if they can't make an account in their country, so in my eyes that's the big fuck up. And it's Sony's fault, not Arrowhead. They should foot the community wrath and the remedy.

If i happen to encounter such stuff, i just leave. And for stuff like moneycheat that would affect my savegame, DRG for example provides a couple of backupsaves to roll back. So i can easily avoid being affected by cheaters and if others want to cheat, i just don't mind. But i would mind having to install a rootkit of questionable origin.
