The DRM and "AntiCheat" has gotten so invasive it may as well just be considered malware.

>Riot Games, the developer of several popular esports titles such as Valorant and League of Legends, just discovered a security vulnerability affecting several motherboards from Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and ASRock that cheaters can use to bypass hardware security checks and make it impossible for the game’s anti-cheat software to detect them.
According to the company, the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), which protects system RAM from Direct Memory Access (DMA) devices, is not fully initializing upon boot in some motherboard models. This means that even though the BIOS might indicate that Pre-Boot DMA Protection is active, it’s not actually protecting the entire system.
