    gamers aren’t usually a prime target, except for cryptominers…

    Don’t many gamers often have a lot of money, considering those huge libraries of games as well as those very expensive PCs, I feel like it would make sense to target them, at the very least for the possibility of commandeering and selling their accounts, plus the ones who download this malware by opting to play games with Anti-cheats and bullying their friends who are unwilling or on the fence into using it, it seems like they would be easy targets.

      And then their account gets instantly blocked since they report that it was stolen immediately if they have a huge library and game all the time. Also, not many people buy full accounts, at best they buy an account with a game they want activated in Bumfuck Indiana because it’s cheaper to buy there and can be sold for profit and still be cheaper than in some places in the world.
