You'd be surprised, MS doesn't do this randomly. They'd rather break a game if the game is actively in production or the company is around. They only put in shims for applications if the vendor isn't still in business usually or can't get source code. But in quite a few cases they'll just put in a patch binary in the shims that just removes the anti-cheat all together from the binary when loaded. Game still runs... nobody cares.

- Const-me 6y agoFiles on disk aren’t affected, the OS applies these patches in RAM only. It’s gonna be very hard to check integrity of code in RAM. The complications include relocation table (applied when loading; see also ASLR) and global variables (modified as the software runs).
