Valve announced a change for Steam today that will make things a lot clearer for everyone, as developers will now need to clearly list the kernel-level anti-cheat used on Steam store pages.
In the Steamworks Developer post Valve said: “We’ve heard from more and more developers recently that they’re looking for the right way to share anti-cheat information about their game with players. At the same time, players have been requesting more transparency around the anti-cheat services used in games, as well as the existence of any additional software that will be installed within the game.”

Everything HAS to be public, otherwise it couldn’t be openly federated. What did he do that people complained?
He’s a weirdo on mastodon too tbh. Very keen on blocking, no real interactions aside from self promotion.
AreWeAntiCheatYet does a decent job of cataloguing what has anti-cheat, and what actually works on Linux / Wine.
It would be great to have it shown on the Steam store. I refunded a game recently because my kid bought something with anti-play by accident.
