Ring-0 Memes

Riot Games devs out here proposing the most DIABOLICAL trade deal in software history. They're offering full Ring 0 access to your entire computer 24/7 (yes, that's kernel-level anti-cheat running with God-mode privileges even when you're not gaming) in exchange for... the privilege of playing Valorant and League. Oh, and those games will probably rip off Valve's homework too, just for funsies. Ring 0 is literally the highest privilege level in your operating system—it's where your kernel lives, where nothing is off-limits, where one wrong move can brick your entire system. It's like giving someone the master key to your house, your car, your bank vault, AND your diary... just so you can experience getting flamed by a 12-year-old in competitive. The sheer AUDACITY of this trade offer has security professionals crying into their keyboards while gamers click "Accept" faster than you can say "Vanguard."
