That's a weird notion of "required". Very few things are "required", notably food and oxygen. Saying "no" to bullshit like rootkits is very easy in comparison.
That's a pretty strong take. One could easily have read it as "required for the game" as in, the multiplayer experience drives the replay value of the game, ama prolific cheating destroys the community.
Of course, it still makes me avoid such games, but saying the argument is invalid because required only means air and water is absurd.
