A reminder, this is a straight up rootkit level "anti-cheat" in a game WITHOUT ANY PLAYER VS PLAYER INTERACTION
Oh no, one of my teammates has a cheat that lets them call down infinite strategems, how horrible for me. /s
They put it there so you can't give yourself free supercredits. They need a rootkit level "anti-cheat" so they can protect their stupid monetization scheme.
Griefing and trolling is just as valid a concern as cheating.
If I can join a random game and make three other people' lives spectacularly shit at the same time, that's a boon to me.
But HD2 isn't like PvP games like Counter Strike or DoTA or CoD. It's an RPG, like D&D. Just as the DM doesn't want the players cheating at dice rolls, the point of any anticheat in this situation is to make it just that much harder that the low-level cheating stays at a minimum and the bigger cheats are easier to spot.

It doesn't even work! It's trivial to bypass
