I hope Valve responds by just ignoring them. Game companies wanting to put in kernel mode shims for their game. That's just ridiculous and a blatant piece of spyware on your system that is untracked and unknown. Because as we all know if you've read any amount of history these companies cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Perhaps if they wanted to open source their anti-cheat mechanism that would be a step in the right direction.
Really the big problem is they just suck at writing software and they don't want to put appropriate controls server side because it is more resource intensive for them. So might as well hack your computer, because why not. There is literally no reason user mode anti cheats with appropriate server side verification cannot work.
Honestly I wish valve would put in stronger customer protections such as disallowing most third-party eula's when acquiring software through steam.
