See, this is my problem. I have no interest in online multiplayer, so anti-cheat is purely of negative value to me.

I understand the problem with cheaters, and if I did play multiplayer games, I'd want every effort taken to eliminate cheating.

I'd be perfectly happy if I could uncheck the "anti-cheat and online capabilities" checkbox in the game installer (or have it default unchecked when the OS indicates that anticheat isn't supported), and I could go on my way and play my single player game.

IMO that's a better solution technically, and for me personally, but I don't know that there's much money to be made in sales to single-player-only non-microtransaction-consuming gamers who were otherwise forgoing games.



A lot of games do have this feature.
