You don't need to be amazing at games to be able to spot a hacker, you simply don't, there are blatant signs you can watch for. Again, I'm not amazing at gaming, but even I can tell when people are being whiners versus an actual hacker in the midst like others have said there's things like snapping behaviour and totally impossible shots that happen when people are hacking because when hacking does happen it's pretty blatant.

Meanwhile Riot Vanguard shills(Valorant and soon League of Legends's kernel anticheat) are gaslighting players who encounter cheaters because they unironically believe that Vanguard is infailable(it isn't, not even close and only raised the bar for cheating, you can cheat all you want with a 20$ microcontroller, or if you have the money another computer and a DMA card, or heck just use a cheat disguised as a bootkit) and cheaters only exist in your head.

Kernel level anti-cheat is another thorny issue that seems to be affecting enthusiasm for multiplayer quite a lot because no one wants have that kind of shady shit on their PC just to play a game.

I think the issue became prevalent because of Riot Vanguards requirement to load very early in the boot process and if you dared to stop it you had to reboot before you could play any Vanguard protected games instead of the anticheat driver loading with the game and unloading itself after you finish, like you know every other kernel anticheat under the sun.

People critical of corporate sponsored FOSS are probably laughing their asses off for being proven right. At the very least the +NIGGER license will finally get its use as a repellent against DIE shills.

Switzerland did not join the EU

Not that it matters, they're in the Schengen area so no real border controls unless you're flying in and EU+EEA citizens minus Croatia can exercise their free movement rights without restrictions(so it won't even matter if they don't take refugees if another EU state does and gives them citizenship), and most of the EU policies still apply while giving up the "representation" EU citizens get in the EU parliament.

Probably still better spaghetti than whatever outsourced Indians are currently shitting out.

Not all Switch games rely on the Switch's firmware/BIOS. However all(retail) of them are encrypted and you need to either find the keys elsewhere or dump them from your own Switch(assuming you can run homebrew on it)
