    “Solves nothing” is a stretch. These companies don’t still apply anti-cheat because it does nothing.

      It doesn’t just do nothing. They know for sure it does nothing, is not theoretically capable of doing more than nothing to prevent cheating, and that it is a giant security hole.

      They just don’t care, because it lets them install a rootkit on your computer.

        Oh, so it does nothing, and it’s a conspiracy to rootkit your computer so they can do other things(?). I see.

          It does nothing to prevent cheating because cheating does not require access to your computer.

          The fact that they’re rootkits is not a conspiracy. It’s not a secret that they have kernel access.
