While you are 100% correct all of these large games do utilize KL AC's.
The program / peoples concerns lies in the shit code the developers can POSSIBLY write that allow for exploitation beyond the game to get SYSTEM user privileges on peoples computers.

Look at how many KL exploits have been utilized in malware campaigns. (These kernel exploits many time aren't even from game devs themself)

People used it for all sorts of malware campaigns, and video game cheats.
MSI AfterBurner's KL driver, GigaBytes KL driver (massively exploited, still can be), Resource Hacker's KM drivers.

It is an issue giving Kernel -> UM communications when things aren't sanitized properly. Which they are not many times.

TL;DR: Kernel ACs are *typically* fine. But there issue is always there,

Nice. I just installed, so I don't need this - but it's always refreshing to see ppl who care enough about this infringement to find and share this information for when it's needed. Thank you for your service.

Games with kernel level anti cheat: Valorant, Fortnite, Halo, Cod for like 5 installments now, Destiny 2, GTA5, Elden Ring, Apex Legends.

Calm down, its way less scary than you think.
