  • Anything from EA.
  • Anything from Ubisoft
  • Anything Epic exclusive.
  • Anything with Denuvo (or whatever is the next intrusive DRM).
  • Anything competitive PvP multiplayer.
  • Anything “free” to play.
  • Probably almost all general multipler & live service by now - or otherwise full of dark patterns to keep me “engaged”.

Most of the multiplayer ones and all of the ones that require voice chat.

There are so many interesting games I see that require internet multiplayer and voice chat. I would love to play them with friends but do not want to interact with random people in a game.

Squad has this problem for the first 5 mins in the pregame bit before you can leave the base.

Most of the interactions I’ve had after that period have been pretty positive

xbox has shadowbanned me or something so that my game chat doesn’t work. I can hear others but they can’t hear me.

I know it’s not a microphone issue because people can hear me in party chat.

This sucks

Any game that uses kernel level anti cheat, for obvious reasons.

Sorry I’m dumb. What are the reasons? You really want to cheat?

I’ll assume since I am someone else, but kernel level anti-cheat is basically Spyware, or at least a privacy concern.

Yep, the other two commenters summed it up well: I’d rather not have software for a game that I play running and phoning home every time I boot my computer (in other words, a rootkit). I also am a Linux user, so they just don’t work for me.

Could also be that they are playing on Linux. Kernel level anti-cheat doesn’t work there.

EA and Ubisoft, some kernel level anti cheat, and typically speaking, i dont enjoy games that have tower defense mechanics (and i hate when its shoehorned in, e.g Monster Hunter Rise). Korean MMOs. Mobas in general
