I've tried to understand what the hypervisor bypass is and I feel like I'm not fully grasping it, I just wanted to say that first so that if I sound stupid, it is because I am stupid. From my loose understanding, it sounds like you are trading giving a corpro entity more access than they should need to your hardware/system, to giving a modified and possibly sketchy program from an unknown source even more access. Sounds like a lose/lose situation and I am staying away from it, but I am glad someone (other than a complete lunatic) was able to break that DRM
The only way I'd touch a bypass like this is with a sacrificial PC which would never connect to the internet/home LAN ever again. I'd still have to come up with a way to get the files onto it in a safe way after the first game gets run with va bypass.
This lvl 0 stuff can potentially overwrite firmware, so a wiped storage drive isn't even enough for to be safe as I understand it.
Not very realistic.
You are, basically, not at all wrong with your understanding.
Thank you for using "loose" correctly. 🤩🖖🏼
