Someone on Lemmy wrote the modern anti-cheat systems are essentialy rootkits.
And after reading that list, I wholeheartdly agree.
This made me think, if whatever company runs these kernel-level rootkit anti cheats get hacked, and since these anti cheats are absolutely proprietary can’t the hackers modify the code to, basically, create a giant genshin impact gamer botnet?
hijacking update channels is a possibility but as the other guy said very unlikely
That sounds EXTREMELY unlikely.

Geshin Impact and Valorant are two of the worst offenders at this. Their anticheat runs at an absurdly high level.
what is it with chinese-made games and extremely invasive anticheats
high level or low level?
Whatever you call ring 0
I think you mean low level, no?
Well high as in a program running off the OS as the lowest.
