None of that security will help. Hackers will rise to the challenge and cheating gamers will use their tools to play. I play a lot of The Division 2 and the cheaters have infiltrated the PVP area of the game so much that the devs stopped doing anything about it. As a result, most of the player base avoid those PVP areas of the map and just play the PVE side.

"Additionally, Activision claims that the security technologies "will not impact in-game quality," and that they will "remain inactive" during gameplay."

If it's not running constantly, what's the point? Checking during boot alone solves nothing when they can be activated after the fact.

This will only delay the influx of rampant cheating rather than stop it entirely. There's always going to be that audience out there and they will willingly pay for it, so cheat developers will continue to push the envelope. That speaks nothing of actual hardware that people can use to circumvent this kind of thing, too.

The point is not fight against the hackers / bots, but to send them to their own server, where they can play against each-others!

This is only happening because Daddy Microsoft told them to.
