Steam games will now need to fully disclose kernel-level anti-cheat on store pages
Valve announced a change for Steam today that will make things a lot clearer for everyone, as developers will now need to clearly list the kernel-level anti-cheat used on Steam store pages.

In the Steamworks Developer post Valve said: "We've heard from more and more developers recently that they're looking for the right way to share anti-cheat information about their game with players. At the same time, players have been requesting more transparency around the anti-cheat services used in games, as well as the existence of any additional software that will be installed within the game."

I've been able to return some games based on news that they will be adding kernel-level anti-cheat. I'm glad Valve is doing this right.
