you think loading my own kernel modules is not related to secure boot? i guess you don’t work in IT then.

• some people run more than 1 OS
• some people actually program and need to load unsigned shit all the time
• some people have legacy hardware that doesn’t run with secureboot
• it is my decision and my decision alone how i boot my operating systems. not EA’s.

beautiful. fuck secureboot.

while i do agree with your reasoning i still think a 6x difference in concurrent players on steam says something about a game - especially on launch day/weekend. if a game is a big success it’s a big success everywhere but then since avowed’s budget was probably not as overblown as other current titles’ budgets it might not be all too bad.

not sure if the question is serious but anyway: stalker 2 was also on gamepass and had 120k concurrent users on steam while avowed had 20k.

if steam is any indication i would not call it a success: https://steamdb.info/app/2457220/charts/#max

i’m pretty sure as a chinese game developer it’s pretty easy to rent a few 10k people to install the game. still, so far i have heard and seen only good things about the game, so i guess it will be a huge success worldwide when it comes out.
