"With Vanguard, the driver is always running with maximum permissions, so if someone finds an exploit they can exploit any user that has vanguard installed even if they haven't played the game in months" Given how many influential figures play games, this is a vulnerability
The maximum bounty on a Vanguard zero user interaction 0-day exploit is a *mere* $100,000 1 click interaction, even less at $75,000. In comparison, a Zoom 0-day (requires user interaction) is selling at a low mere price of $500,000. https://www.tripwire.com/state-of-security/featured/zoom-zero-day-exploit-sale-500000/ …pic.twitter.com/kNxsNPK6hs

In 2017, a $1B+ deal was killed solely due to the product (AppLovin, a primarily gaming advertising company) possessing legitimate user data.

If Riot was independent until today, Tencent wouldn't be able to buy it. Likewise, if http://Musical.ly (now TikTok) grew to its current popularity, talks of acq. by ByteDance (even with infinite money) would be blocked by the US government.
Furthermore, the richest man on the planet, Jeff Bezos, was the target of an attack he never thought of. On an iPhone. One of the most closed OSes. Through an app (WhatsApp) owned by Facebook. One of the largest companies in the world.https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/22/technology/jeff-bezos-hack-iphone.html?auth=login-google …
