It seems like the issue is hooking DLL functions, and a lot of people are siding with Valve while blaming AMD.

I find this whole idea of people getting permanently banned due to running software the way they want fairly problematic. There should be more of a presumption of innocence, even if hooking into a game. Also, these AntiCheat programs can be extremely intrusive, as they often scan all other running processes on someone's computer (and probably more stuff - people have been banned for running a Windows VM on Linux.)

I find it weird that people would side with a company that does something like that. Stockholm syndrome?
