I used to host pretty popular servers for several games (mostly the PvP survival kind), built a community around them, and developed custom admin software. It's hard to say I haven't experienced this first-hand, I fully understand the reasons for this to exist. Yet I 100% agree with the author, this went way too far long ago. This will NOT stop until the personal computers are forcibly locked into a fully attested hardware chain, for everyone not just gamers. The control over your personal computer will be eventually taken from you even if you never played a game in your entire life. And then cheats will simply move outside the machine entirely. No entertainment is worth it.

Starting from a certain point, the solution for cheating is better game design, more human involvement, and community building, not adding more restraints which will be circumvented in any case.
