pogodem0nLatest MSI BIOS update implements "anti-cheat mechanism"
Can someone explain to me why cheating shouldn’t be solely caught and prevented on the servers these games run on? Why the hell are they diving into control on my own system?
It’s all about control. They demand control over servers, not allowing you to self host. They also demand control over communities, by putting them all in one big server or other controlled channels (but sometimes refusing to properly moderate them like in league of legends).
Now, they want to control your device.
Sad people still play that garbage
KogasaYou make it sound like a conspiracy to control our lives instead of a profit-maximization behavior. It’s cheap and easy to lock you out and expensive to build things more robustly. The cost to your privacy, autonomy, etc. isn’t passed on to them because typical consumers don’t know or care what they’re giving up. This is what regulations are for but it’s all a little late for that
