There are zero reasons There is a reason. The idea is that an anticheat probably have higher rights than the regular user and therefore would be undetectable by an anticheat system with regular rights. Doing it in Kernel mode means it has the highest power to detect even admin level cheats. That is the reason. Many anticheat systems are completely useless without Kernel mode, at least according to the devs (I don’t have numbers to compare them with or without Kernel mode, nobody has probably). So they don’t even bother if they cannot access the Kernel. Now I agree with you a videogame shouldn’t have this much power over my system. And it doesn’t even catch them all. But stating it has no reason whatsoever is wrong. I do not want shady companies like Riot to do whatever they want on my system.
