Well this quite a surprise. THE FINALS is one of the most popular new online FPS games that uses Easy Anti-Cheat from Epic Online Services, and as of a recent update — it works on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux.
The embark account thing is kinda annoying when you already have steam but literally all you have to do is confirm your email. And the anti cheat is required because without it there would be even more hackers than the already is. Try to find a good game that is popular, multiplayer, with no anti cheat and no need for one because nobody cheats.
There isn’t really much co-op games left at this point. Most I can think of are just parts of other multiplayer games, which still have an anti cheat for their multiplayer version.
After playing csgo, I fully support invasive anti cheat.
It’s extremely frustrating going into matches and having a significant amount of them ruined by cheaters. I fucking hate people who cheat in multi-player games.
That’s like saying ads are also fine if you don’t care about them. The design of F2P model games is to create an environment to encourage spending, it’s insidious and more deceptive than you’d think.

Try to play a competitive online game without anti-cheat and see if it is still fun.

F2P isn’t a problem if you care rats ass about skins or if it isn’t P2W
