Anti-cheat just ruins games.

No, cheaters do.

No, cheaters do.

That they do, but theres a lot of conflation between using a parser (which ultimately just collects combat log data) and using third party mods that affect fight difficulty. YoshiP did distinguish between these two facets. His concern regarding Parsers isnt about number crunching, its about harassment that he said ensues.

Cheaters ruin games.

Anticheat software that's forced to run as administrator ruins operating system stability and security.

Neither is great. (One is admittedly more likely to cause catastrophic data loss than the other, though.)
