one way to burn this all down is for hardware cheats to become even more popular, a triggerbot hardware cheat is as simple as a adruino plugged into your USB and your computer sees it as a capture card and a mouse and that's the simpler solution.
If they start to ban capture cards or PCs with 2 mouse, it can be upgraded to be a hdmi and mouse pass through
they will eventually make it so restrictive it will be impossible for people to actually play, before they consider a serverside solution.
I think Microsoft and their partners have been dreaming about turning PCs into fully locked down platforms for a long time, completely unrelated to gaming. Hardware DRM including display devices and cables, and only running "trusted" software is the end goal.
