What's really sad is how hard they're pushing news about this when they also announced big strides in getting their anti-cheat working on Linux. Which is honestly the bigger deal here. onlineservices.epicgames.com/news/introdu...

I'm gonna be honest. No piece of entertainment software needs this level of protection. In the end, it's all to protect their revenue, because cheaters impact them more than they do you and I.
