    It’s to the point now where they are using DMA (direct memory access) cards to read memory directly from the PCI bus and bypass even the most invasive anticheats. Valorant has a ton of DMA cheaters.

        For the cheaters? A feeling of superiority. For the people that make those cheats? Money from those losers, apparently enough to be worth the trouble sadly.
