It not being worth using is good, I want this malware practice to die.
Which is a noble goal in my view, I completely agree. But you will not be able to use anything like wine to achieve this…anti-cheat software is specifically designed to prevent all the things that wine does (For the reason that there is no technical difference between a “cheat program” and what wine does)
i’m sure there are already workarounds on windows, it’s not like cheating has been eliminated there
Actually I read about an interesting way a few months ago…on games that enabled linux support in their anti-cheat systems windows “cheats” started spoofing the OS signature to make the anti-cheat system think it runs on wine and turning of the kernel-level anticheat…
But as I said, the effectiveness of anit-cheat is a different discussion independent of the question if wine will support them. Even if anti-cheat systems are ineffective it doesn’t change that they are mainly aimed at stopping exactly the kind of “trickery” wine does. Wine would have to play the same cat and mouse game with anti-cheat as cheats do…if it finds a away to work around them the anti-cheat systems need to find a way to prevent that workaround.
