DRM in general is built to grab Windows by the balls. It can tell when something is trying to fake core Windows processes. It’s literally what it’s designed to do. Checking for sandboxes and such.

I was more thinking about Qualcomm being particularly dishonest (which is a massive achievement in their industry).

90% of the most played PC games. Doesn’t say how they determined that, that I saw. So no, not 90% of all games.

It’s a different architecture, ARM vs x86-64. I wouldn’t expect everything to work.
