        This isn't about greed, it's about the game being riddled with hackers.

            Yet no other game requires secure boot and plenty of them don't require kernel level access either. Many of those games have no such cheating problem. It's a cop-out because they aren't good at their jobs and instead want to gobble up more and more access to your computer instead.

              It's ego and they actually think they can win against cheat makers. But like it or not, there will always be cheats, for the same reason there will always be cracked copies of their games. *If it runs, it can be cracked.* -An old 0day saying PS - Just let us have our own dedicated servers again. Then we can just banhammer a bitch, instead of relying on a stupid lobby vote system and a report button.

                If you could have your own server, you could keep playing the game after they decide it's time for you to pay $90 for the next one.

                  Their AC doesn't work on Linux, so my odds of plying it went to 0 when I found that out. Fuck them anyway. They haven't made a game worth playing in probably decades. There are better cheaper games not ran by greedy corpos.

                      Game is just watered down af anyway to appeal to the call of duty crowd as much as possible. BF lost its identity, so you aren't missing anything.

                            They could easily identify the worst hackers just based on the game play data without needing to actually confirm that they have cheats installed. Snapping between spread out people to get a half dozen head shots in a quarter second? Hacking. Locking on to someone behind a wall? Hacking. Hacks that nullify recoil? They should be able to tell by unrealistically precise counter movements. Sure, games can occasionally have network issues that result in these kinds of things but if someone does it regularly then it isn't a networking thing.

                              Every Riot game requires Secure Boot for Vanguard to work. It's not unique to those two games. And what the fuck would they want with your computer anyways?

                                  Secure Boot isn’t going to do shit about console players running what’s functionally aim assist with cronus zens or xims. They could catch the hardware hackers in the same way you mentioned, but they just don’t do shit.

                                        EA Gets hacked and all the extra info they have been storing on me goes right to the hackers. It's also a huge back door they could sell to shady 3 letter agencies.

                                          I mean, this is fine. Secure Boot is on everything motherboard from the last 12 years, there are very few reasons not to have it enabled and those reasons are usually edge case scenarios. Would absolutely take this over a kernel level driver.
