Remember when brutally difficult games were just a marketing pitch to make you waste quarters on arcade machines deliberately designed to be brutally hard at first quarter and only get easier after you put another 20 after 20 continue countdowns?
I don't think it should matter how big a company is. If it fucks up, heads need to roll. And if said company decides to pull out from a country at sign of consequence then I consider that a dodged bullet.
I'm under no illusion that it would make things worse for the foreseeable future but sooner or later the breaking point will be reached as repeated offenders will only get more unscrupulous.
By treating it like malicious homicide by default.
After the Vaal Reefs mine disaster a law was passed that made mine owners automatically guilty of homicide without trial unless they could prove that they had taken all possible steps to prevent an accident. Depending on the country in South Africa this could either means 15 years/life sentence or death penalty by firing squad/hanging.
Suddenly BAM! State of the art safety systems and proper protocols put in place to greatly improve safety and working conditions for miners in Africa.
Things will change when CEOs and shareholders will be put to the sword rather than have a wrists slapped with a negligible fine.
Are you sure about the later part?
The most popular genrea being shounen often has a protagonist rise to power and becoming a hero who the entire world hopes he prevails. That does not sound like a reduced person to me at all.
Here's what I don't though.
The investors.
The premise of your argument is that investors are bumbling morons who have no idea how things work and if you just wiggle big numbers in front of them then they will go "oooh ahhh" and just keep pouring in money.
I would imagine a single investor have enough grey matter to stand up and ask:
"You wiggle the surge of new PSN accounts but I also noticed you forced PSN requirement in place that didn't need it before. Am I supposed to interpret that as some promise of future PS+ subscriptions?"
Splashtop is one good example.
It can be used in conjunction with something like Chimpeon or AHK if you have the technical know how.
This is but a tip of the iceberg when it comes to circumventing Kernel level Anti-cheat. I recommend that you watch this video so you have more insight on the topic:

DMA Cheats, AHK Pixel and Hardware Pixel Bots are the sections that focus on this.
I think HallucinatoryBeing reffers to game streaming to another PC with cheat software.
1st PC is playing the game and streaming the video output to 2nd PC.
2nd PC with cheat software is sending mouse position, mouse clicks and key inputs to 1st PC.
The anti-cheat on 1st PC only detects precise input which can not be differentiated from expert play.
What they signed away was something they were never strong enough to get in the first place.
