    gamers aren’t usually a prime target, except for cryptominers…

    an anticheat based cryptominer worm would be pretty terrible, now that i think about it…

      Don’t many gamers often have a lot of money, considering those huge libraries of games as well as those very expensive PCs, I feel like it would make sense to target them, at the very least for the possibility of commandeering and selling their accounts, plus the ones who download this malware by opting to play games with Anti-cheats and bullying their friends who are unwilling or on the fence into using it, it seems like they would be easy targets.
