Well, have fun guessing 2^64 possibilities. YouTube lists even private videos "secured" using 11 BASE64 characters (66 bits in theory, but they seem to use just 64 bits). You can watch Tom Scott explain it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gocwRvLhDf8
CG-NAT doesn't really prevent geolocation. Better services will still pin-point you to the nearest city. There are perhaps easier ways to get your private info or your money - phishing and ransomware seem to be still very popular. Don't have to hack games that only relatively few people have. It is more profitable to attack a bigger market or more wealthy institutions or companies in foreign countries. Also, if you hack the central game server, you will have a lot more victims... Choose your poison.
I guess, there are no games or other software that cannot be audited in high security installations. At home, having a work computer and a game computer (or a VM with GPU pass through or whatever) might be a safer choice in any case independent of IPv4 or IPv6 usage or the quality of your firewall.
