This was all born out of my rant on Riot’s kernel level anti-cheat, and how it really is less risky than plenty of other games. Small publisher games on Steam, like Lethal Company, are more risky despite having less access. You don’t need kernel level access to upload a user’s documents directory or to install ransomware.

If you really care about being safe, you need your games and less trusted software on a completely isolated drive and OS.
