They could use nProtect GameGuard like PSO2, if it detects any 3rd party program running that the game devs dont like it gives you Error 1013 and force you to close the game, crashes the game or gives BSOD. If that's not enough, implement checksum file that the game checks and updates regularly while you're online.
In PSO2 if the devs find people using parser they ban accounts without warning for cheating.

I guess the anti parser people would be happy.
