None of that talk about exploiting anti cheats, nowhere. Not a single concrete example.

The goal of cheats is to make money not to hack PCs.

In the current state of things, YOU have to provide the proof a kernel anti-cheat is not weaponized by hackers (yet...). It is now common knowledge, kernel level anti-cheats are leveraged by hackers.

And we all know this is fully hypocrit. "Computer security" does not exist, but for sure, adding a "gaming" _kernel module_ won't improve anything there... (irony).
