If your software cheat gets detected, which has much lower odds of happening for some games than it does for others, you spend $30 buying a new account. That is much cheaper than spending $500-$2000 on a DMA card and then an assload of money on the actual cheat software that uses that card (because DMA cheats are much more expensive).

I promise you there's at most a single digit number of people using DMA cheats for Rust, because software cheats are more than sufficient to evade the bog standard EAC they use.

Yeah some people have more access to expensive hardware than others.
