counter strike for example... ring0 AC is only available via other matchmaking platforms like faceit

Counter strike is literally one of the single most cheated in fps on earth. Only tarkov has more cheaters... Lol

Counterstrike is overrun with bots

You couldn't have chosen a worse example even if you tried.

Edit: The downvotes just show how disconnected the userbase here is. I'll bet none of you have touched cs in a decade.

So you're just going to conveniently forget the giant wave of bans in CS2 a few months back when Valve updated VAC?

W ragebait. I'll give that to you.

VAC doesnt immediately ban when a cheat is detected, It delays the ban to make it harder for cheat makers to figure out what, when, how, and why it was detected.
