It isn't that I'm playing a game, it's that game anticheat these days will collect and send so much PII 24/7 even when there is no game running, and the anticheat service is NOT removed when you uninstall the game that loaded it. And of course the anticheat service blocks VMs / will ban you if it detects VMware, VirtualBox, etc.

I'm wondering what happens to company data that's been exfiltrated by these anticheat services or how it's protected

I use Linux so I have no idea about these problems.
