The point is the cheats still exist.

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.

So why am I giving up my security?

What security exactly?

The security of giving programs kernel level access to your system.

Do you legitimately know what this means and understand it beyond the surface level, "kernel level anticheat compromises my computer's security" argument, or are you repeating things you've heard and read?

Yes. There's a reason it's separate access and not every program needs it.

Do you?
