Between this and it being a COD clone, either it will be extremely mid or somehow it will have a good 3 month FOMO of numbers before it drops due to lack of good maps to keep the ADHD zoomers who play this around

I'd be okay with this because then I would be less freaked out regarding whatever garbage spyware the developer wants to run on my system since it will be sandboxed automatically.
The problem is the implementation would likely be garbage

Worst part is it won't give me an explanation of why it's not launching, just it found a system error and lol reinstall the anti-cheat, EA can go fuck themselves

By definition they are. A rootkit is a malicious piece of software that covertly installs itself. Anti cheat is something you are told and agree to, and it's intent is not to be malicious.

Giving up your server binaries just gives B*lgarians, B*azilians, and R*ssians the oppotrtunity to decompile and exploit your games to either at best setup pirate servers or at worst use it to infect other machines that connect to their virus spreading version. Not going to happen.

The logic here does not follow in any way whatsoever. I have control over my doors and windows, and the house is mine. In a revolving door matchmaking architecture using something like a kubernetes cluster with no redist server binaries available to the players, like every AAA game in the past 10 years, there are no doors and windows at all, the rooms are all padded with cold white lighting, the house isn't yours, it changes every session, and you share it with new strangers you'll never see again with every iteration. It's not a clubhouse, it's a PRISON. If I was hosting my own server, I would choose where the windows and doors go for my own house design, how they are secured, who is allowed in my house at all (in real time), and how it is painted. What the fuck point are you even trying to make?
