> EA says kernel-level protection is “absolutely vital” for competitive games like FIFA 23, as existing cheats operate in the kernel space, so games running in regular user mode can’t detect that tampering or cheating is occurring.

There are soccer games from the 90s that didn't need to run in Ring 0.

Yeah but to be fair, those games were nowhere nearly as popular as FIFA is today both casually and competitively.
