EAC is not just a service, it's a kernel level driver.
Exactly. And that's why I'm curious: is there a way to uninstall EAC for SP usage like in Watchdogs 2? Because there is no way I would install some cheesy kernelmode driver just to play a UBI game. In fact I didn't buy the game for now because of EAC, WD2 was a bad surprise already but at least I could get rid of this crap and still play the game.
