Talk:List of kernel-level anti cheats

Problem with listing every game

For EA anti cheat or Vanguard every game can be easily listed without any problems but for BattlEye or Easy Anti-cheat there are so many games that use these its just not practical. Linking to something like SteamDB [1] is probably a better idea. Maybe games that are considered "notable" can be listed like GTA V, Rainbow 6 Siege, etc.

PCGamingWiki has pages dedicated to various anti-cheat solutions, and even various forms of DRM (Denuvo for example), might be easier to link there instead. Saya (talk) 15:23, 5 April 2026 (UTC)

AreWeAntiCheatYet has a table list of games with anti-cheat along with a search query to find what you're looking for. Ednovstormbrewer (talk) 21:59, 25 May 2026 (UTC)

Some of the games listed in the article were shutdown years ago, like Heroes & Generals, which was sunset in 2023, see: the shutdown event post on steam . The PCGamingWiki notes such games with a banner saying "This product is no longer playable in any capacity. It is covered here for historical reference." AreWeAntiCheatYet has no such indicators and still links to the original URL which has been taken over by some malicious actor to redirect to some betting website. Would be nice if this article could become a reliable replacement to AreWeAntiCheatYet, with what AC is used and how, notes about Linux compatibility and the such, instead of just a list that gathers entries from these two without much context or attention as to how accurate the entries are.

I would be happy to contribute to such an effort if someone provides a nice template for it, but as it currently is, the article is meh and doesn't provide much important information.

I also support the initiative to have a "notable" listing for games on the larger side, the games that everyone knows about, alongside the attempt to make a full and complete list of the games using these anticheats.

TL;DR: PCGamingWiki is great but has a lot of information rather than just being about AC, and AreWeAntiCheatYet isn't accurate or maintained enough as it is and a simple article like this might be a better solution.

Also page title doesn't match content, is it a list of ACs or a list of the games using the ACs? AveryBlueberry (talk) 13:25, 12 June 2026 (UTC)
