Generally I’d say they’re one of the most dangerous things you could voluntarily run on your PC
I disagree under some conditions. Doing anything sketchy from the same machine you log into your bank account from is extremely dangerous, but a dedicated gaming PC is a lot less dangerous. Especially if you are isolating the network on that machine and using it for single purpose. At that point, HV bypass becomes irrelevant to overall security. And by single purpose, I mean single purpose. No SSO or logging into sites. If you are heavy into this, I wouldn’t even put Steam on the machine.
In general, without HV bypass you could firejail processes and potentially put Steam on the box, but with HV bypass absolutely not.
