This why kernel level anticheat is the stupidiest idea. It's already hard enough to have the developers coordinate on a mission critical component of the OS. Now imagine dozens of profit hungry, lowest effort publishing companies all meddling and putting their greasy hands into that code at the same time. No, thank you.

are these games even multiplayer? is it anti cheat or anti piracy?

Its anti "going around our profit structure". Got to make sure they can't bypass paying for skins in a single player game.
