Stuff like rowhammer is very different vs something like a SQL injection on a website.
Plenty of gamers download mods that straight up execute code on their machines. They also download game tools that are just code.
They also run games that are just not secure. I know one that was storing user credentials in plain text in the registry (where no special permissions are needed to access it)
