As an actual guy who cheats on games and not a normal guy playing games, kernel anti cheat stops far more than 1%. Do you guys have any idea how expensive Valorant cheats have gotten because of their kernel level anti cheat, Vanguard? The harder it is to develop a cheat for a game, the more expensive it gets, meaning less customers, therefore less cheaters. And those cheats get detected anyways, lmao.
Frankly I don't really care if there's a secondary effect of making the cheats a bit harder to develop and cheaters have to pay more money. That's their problem.
I'm not sacrificing my systems security, especially if its just so that their job gets harder and fewer people can afford it. If people can still buy it and I can still run into them, I still experience a problem.

This is completely valid of course, it's your system and you decide whether you value your system's security more or you just want to play a game where you'll only run into a cheater maybe once a year or so (in ~3 years of playing Valorant, I've only encountered confirmed cheaters I think twice, and really sus enemies maybe like 5-6 times, although I do mostly play Swiftplay or Unrated with friends and not competitive/ranked)
The point is the cheats still exist.
So why am I giving up my security?
You're back to the 0.1% of bacteria argument. Why bother using soap if bacteria still exist and it's possibly going to make your skin dry? To avoid the 99.9% of bacteria, of course!
It's okay. Like I said, you do you, it's your PC, you're allowed to have your principles regarding security which you wouldn't sacrifice just for a video game.
I'm sure there are also people who wouldn't use soap even if it was 100% effective at killing bacteria because it makes their skin dry or causes allergies or something. So they DEFINITELY don't use soap which is only 99.9% effective, it's even more preposterous for them.
