amazing, I approve of this. People should get locked out of playing if they have old systems that no longer receive BIOS updates. And also if they don’t even know what BIOS is. Once this kind of inconvenience gets more broad and companies will start losing players then maybe this BS with intrusive anti-cheats will stop… I hope
if they have old systems that no longer receive BIOS updates
You just went the Microsoft route there: “their system is too old and doesn’t have TPM, they need a new system to stay secure”
Or the BF6 route “you need to have Secure Boot enabled to play our game”
This just creates more e-waste and doesn’t really solve the problem as their user base will happily follow them for much longer than you’d probably think.
The point was that alienating their main player base this way will lead to the demise of companies that use kernel level anti-cheat and those companies will deserve it because they did it to themselves.

I think they were being facetious.

Fair point. Tone was hard to read
sorry, i’ll use italic next time
It was very clearly a combination of sarcasm and dark humor.
BF6 requires secure boot? …fuck outta here…
Huh? Why? That’s none of the game’s concern.
