Where's the hate for valve's anticheat being buggy and too aggressive and unable to identify benign code from cheating code?

I'd be happy to argue the semantics of the mistakes made by AMD, and I probably could be convinced they fucked up. But the ethics of guilty until proven innocent that comes with anticheat software, are so appalling that I'm angry valve isn't getting roasted for saying "we're not going to do anything until after AMD does.

IMO, if your accusations can "ruin lives" (even if it is just a gaming life) you don't get to make mistakes if you're going to ignore them until it's convenient to.



This isn't unique to anticheat, anti-virus and EDR aren't immune to detect a suspicious behavior that many malwares engage in as a false-positive, and flagged a normal process doing something unusual as malicious by mistake.
