look at the TF2 bot crisis, some people thought (btw I'm so glad I can say thought and not think) that making VAC kernal level would fix it when in reality like 2 employees could've fixed a ton of the botting issues

Yeah, it's a shame they abandoned TF2. VAC is my preferred AC though, they were ahead of the curve with ML detection, now ML has blown up in a major way, that is what we should focusing on for AC, not borderline malware.

But then how can we monitize our gamers if we can't run at the kernel level and do whatever we want?

We're selling games at an overpriced rate and putting tons of gambling and Mtx in our games. But this is unsustainable. We'll go bankrupt at this rate! Just last week we had a meeting with the CEO complaining he couldn't buy his fifth luxury boat because he had spent that years bonus on his 2nd aircraft. He said heads might start to roll at this rate to keep the company float. Where are we supposed to find the money to index 5% on the wages.

Some upper manager somewhere. Probably
