Okay but that's just goalpost moving. I say you can't snoop packets and you move on to talking about HDMI hacks. You're missing the point in your haste to win the argument though: HDMI hacks present a barrier to entry, because now the player needs to buy specialized hardware. Also they won't work as well as packet sniffing (you can't as easily predict where a player is, since you only have pixel information and not skeleton information). Anti-cheat "works" by preventing the majority of players from cheating. The goal isn't to eliminate all cheating. If you can eliminate 99% of cheating using a rootkit, then that rootkit is definitely worth it.

You just don't read what I said/linked Connect to a VPN and let an external service handle all that shit for you, transparently, your client anti-cheat is useless > Anti-cheat "works" by preventing the majority of players from cheating.

I agree with you on that, except for the last part, you now affect your legit users, and give them false hope of never playing against cheaters
