    It doesn’t just do nothing. They know for sure it does nothing, is not theoretically capable of doing more than nothing to prevent cheating, and that it is a giant security hole.

    They just don’t care, because it lets them install a rootkit on your computer.

      Oh, so it does nothing, and it’s a conspiracy to rootkit your computer so they can do other things(?). I see.

        It does nothing to prevent cheating because cheating does not require access to your computer.

        The fact that they’re rootkits is not a conspiracy. It’s not a secret that they have kernel access.
