Valve has rolled out a new rule, which will warn players that a game uses an anti-cheat program at the kernel level.
Game developers must fill out the Edit Store Page section with information about any anti-cheat software they use for the game, and players will see a message about it, just like the DRM one.
Kernel-level software is serious business as it can access your system to see if you use any cheat apps, so naturally, many users would like to know about this in advance and have a choice to not install the game for this reason.

I doubt a lot of gamers will opt out because big multiplayer games like Apex Legends, Fortnite, Valorant, and others have such deep anti-cheat software, but transparency is always nice.
Earlier, Valve also added a warning reminding people that they don't actually own the games they buy, and while the fact is sad, this message is a positive change.
