VRChat plans to add Easy Anti Cheat in the next update. What will it do for the game? Well let me show you:

What EAC will do for VRChat:
Lower framerates
Increase instability
Stop script kiddies
Stop "wholesome" mods, accessibility mods, and quality of life mods
Stop AMD FSR/RSR, Intel XeSS, Nvidia VRWorks SLI from improving your framerate
Stop select SteamVR mods that modify the game's runtime
Stop programs like AudioTeapot (audio manager/soundboard) from working
Stop Linux users from playing via proton (they claimed it wouldn't yet it does)
Stop Linux users from playing via Windows virtual machines
Lower the playerbase

What EAC will NOT do for VRChat:
Stop ripping (Avatar cache is still unprotected)
Stop crashing (Crasher avatars)
Stop all malicious mods (Those devs see this as a programming challenge)
Stop all malicious actors (There's other ways of being annoying)
Stop SDK modding
Stop user harassment (Stop claiming this!)
Close the security holes in VRC Udon
Improve the game experience

What EAC has done in the present/past:
Take routine snapshots of the user's desktop/video buffer
Scan all processes running on user's machines
Kill or try to kill all "unknown" or "untrusted" or "unregistered" running processes (including homemade processes)
Locate the files of "unknown" or "untrusted" or "unregistered" processes and upload them to Epic's servers
Scan the user's C:\Users\ folder and appdata folder
Stop users from launching the game if Windows fails to install/update itself "correctly" (google "easyanticheat UNEXPECTED-KERNEL-MODE-TRAP", though epic tries to censor this issue)
Stop device drivers that are "unknown" or "untrusted" or "unregistered" from running (including homemade drivers)

VRChat devs, I know you don't care because you're hiding all the complaint posts on the feedback canny and ignore everyone's requests to just add the QoL mod ideas into the game, but for the love of god don't add EAC and listen to your community's requests. It is not good for the innocent users, the "wholesome" modders, and the QoL modders. Don't get me wrong, I love the community and opportunities this game has provided to me, but this is just an awful move from the devs, even with me not caring for client mods. Also maybe consider change whoever is writing the blog posts, they're so super tone deaf.
