Licensing anti-cheat software isn’t helpful if you don’t force all matches to be played on ETF2L servers.

We currently have 7 match servers available for lending in Europe, and while it’s rare to see them all used at the same time, it does happen a few times per month – and this is when more than 80% of matches are played on non-ETF2L servers. We would need well over 40 gameservers to accommodate all teams, which is just not feasible in a free-to-play league.

It’s also worth mentioning that EAC is not used by any TF2 league or community, and thus may suffer from crashes or performance issues, and the client is Windows-only, meaning we would have to exclude all Mac and Linux gamers.

Im gonna remove myself from this thread seeing the consternation I caused by looking up prices alone haha.

I agree with you emb. There is no way you can enforce all servers to use a server-side AC client in a free TF2 league and you’d have to enforce penalties. Which would bring alot of extra work and problems for server-reservations.
In the end it’s a choise between open competitive tf2 for all with having some doubtfull players and some occasional drama and proffesionalism and the chance you’d loose a large numbers of players to it. Maybe Valve would be better of buying EAC and integrating their knowledge into VAC, I guess.
