:This is a pretty big issue and you could definately open a discussion on the larger implication of close sourced kernel level drivers. That would be make as a seperate article.

==What are anti cheats for?==

Currently this article does not cover what an anti-cheat (kernel or otherwise) actually does. What is its purpose? How does it carry that out? Why would a user care?

(Should also cover what are advantages of a kernel level anticheat over others.)

I guess KLAC might be used to prevent ad blockers from working, or might have a role in forcing one to use microtransactions. Are they like copy protection schemes? Do they have any benefits for the users? [[User:Drakeula|Drakeula]] ([[User talk:Drakeula|talk]]) 09:08, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

:I'll get some refs together and attempt it, although it does go towards out of scope territory. [[User:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|'''''AnotherConsumerRightsPerson''''']] ([[User talk:AnotherConsumerRightsPerson|talk]]) 08:07, 23 November 2025 (UTC)
