Honestly, not even mad. Sucks for the victims, but we need hackers poking holes in kernel anticheats. Show the game companies that kernel anticheat is a waste of effort and maybe this horrific plague of gaming will die off.

Another option is for gamers to quit buying this softslop

It's inevitable. You can't make progress without several steps back.

The issue is that without it cheating is so much easier in many games. So then people just get pissed at all the hackers.

Yes, if they offload all of the compute for anti-cheat to the customer's hardware, then you are right for current operating systems.

Client side anti-cheat is not the only way but it is the cheapest way for the game industry.
