Boo freaking hoo.

It's not like there are so many other ways to cheat, actually used in many games with anticheats.

We should all stop pretending it's necessary to put malware into your computer just so some company can claim they have no cheaters, which is never even true.

The point of anti-cheat is to create a substantial barrier for cheating. If you have to go the extra mile to run an external hardware cheat so as to be "undetected" then surely this means the anti-cheat is working. If it were as ineffective as you imply, cheaters would be cheating on their main accounts.
