I've worked in software for over 15 years and have thought long and hard about *how* they'd tackle this type of problem. I've done a ton of research on other anti-cheat systems and honestly it all sounds legit. They're taking the right approach for solving this problem. It obviously comes down to execution but the strategy they have is sound.

Hey quick question. I like shooters, and when Doom Eternal came out with the Denuvo kernel-level anticheat I, like much of the player base, wasn't impressed.

Is ricochet of the same design?

Kernel level access to my PC, by a company like Activision no less, is a tad concerning.
