What if the kernel module is only run in a separate VM than your main one?

Games that require kernel-level anticheat will probably try to detect VMs and refuse to run.

  • The idea is that the hypervisor would also be signed and provide security guarantees to games to block cheats from working.

    • Being able to snapshot and restore memory is a pretty common feature across all decent hypervisors. That in and of itself enables most client-side cheats. I doubt they'd bother to provide such a hypervisor for the vanishingly small intersection of people who:

      - Want to play these adversarial games

      - Don't care about compromising control of hypervisor

      - Don't simply have a dedicated gaming box
