A pretty notable example is probably BattlEye, which is used by several major FPS games [1] like Tarkov, Rainbow Six and PUBG.

They banned the use of virtual machines [2] back in 2020 and their AC solution does not work on Linux.

Valve seems to be working on it [3], though their solution might be tailored to their SteamDeck hardware instead of a generic proton fix.

PUBG uses EasyAntiCheat these days, rather than BattlEye.
