Video games are not that important. That's why cheating in them is not that serious. It is not worth the security and privacy risks of putting rootkits in people's machines to address cheating. Many people in gaming communities advocate physical and sexual violence towards people who cheat, there is a perception that gaming is more important than it actually is.

Games aren't important enough to ever outweigh the risks, just like they aren't actually important enough to justify physical and sexual violence against those who break their rules. People trying to argue for this as some paramount issue that needs to be combated no matter the cost need to get some perspective.

With arguments like those that person already seems like an astroturfer IMO. Also sideloading is the language corporations used to delegitimize decentralized app installation.
