It's just an arbitrary restriction that has become the new "it will work this time" at the potential expense of the consumer.

>>717746598
That would be racist and discriminatory

>>717746657
nobody cheats at porn

>>717746882
an entire race being able to cheat and place themselves over others is a racial supremacist movement however and that needs to be stopped

>>717746598
Because that region has an extremely large potential playerbase, and if they let them buy the game and then ban them, they might squeeze more than one sale out of each potential consumer.

>>717747341
its legal because nobody can stop them and will cuck to a non-binding statement hidden in their ToS
Devs have been doing it for years already
Witcher 3 and Satisfactory for example both had "next-gen updates" years after they were released and purchasable that effectively made the original games unplayable for anyone that didn't meet the arbitrary new requirements
there should be laws against altering products you already paid for and literally making them unusable years later "just because", its a much more serious issue than what SKG screechers have actually been whining about

>>717748618
>Isn’t secure boot enabled by default on all modern computers?
Biggest issue with Secure Boot is you have to choose between Secure Boot and Compatibility Support Module.
Several mobo manufacturers have Secure Boot off by default because you never know what kind of hardware or operating system someone might try to stick on it. Anyone putting together their own PC would have to turn it on themselves.
A lot of OEM custom builders that let you pick the components and OS turn Secure Boot off for the sake of maximizing compatibility even if they're certain there aren't any on the rig they built for you.
Anyone buying a laptop or some prebuilt Dell or whatever almost certainly has it on.

Bottom line here is that none of these things are affecting dma cheaters who are using signed drivers and second pc to cheat. I.e. every cod streamer and people who use paid and less known, professional cheat vendors are unaffected.
All these requirements are there to appease retards crying on steam forums. Maybe it prevents script kiddies and cheap or public cheat users from using cheats but faze Swagg and Tim the Ratman are still going to be using their cheats in the public.

How's that supposed to work? All Secure Boot does is prevent you from booting unsigned .efi images.
If there's any cheat that needs you to boot your own image, you can always sign it so you can boot it under Secure Boot.

>>717748618
Because hackers can't have that. Cheating is a huge market and you bet that cheat producers have their own marketing departments spamming everywhere

/v/ is the only place on the internet where I can't complain about UE5 having shitty performance without being told to stop being poor, while simultaneously the board bitching about Secure Boot cause their 12 year old PCs don't have it or they're scared of bios like they just jumped off the console ship last week.

>>717755514
It limits the vector of cheating methods and making hardware bans actually work

>>717755662
it is almost as if the people telling you to stop being poor are actually impoverished third worlders themselves trying to provoke everyone

You're poor and also the people complaining about secure boot are tech illiterate retards.

>We are all upgrading to Win11
Delusional. 11's uptick only started RECENTLY and only BECAUSE WIN10 IS DEADMAN WALKING FOR CONSUMERS IN TWO (2) MONTHS.

For the majority of Win11's LIFETIME (3-4 [three-four] years), it was UNDERWATER in comparison to Win10.

Literally, Win11's lifetime has been until these past two months:

Windows 10: 80-90% of the market.
Windows 11: 10-20% of the market.

NOBODY is willingly using Windows 11. The ones that are are morons that can't handle Linux or multiplayer players that need anti-cheat (which doesn't even fucking work, LMAO) for multiplayer titles.

mind explaining what the whole fuss is about when secure boot being on should be the default option anyway, it is in deed the default option in 8 out of 10 motherboards unless you intentionally go in and change it, and and for YEARS since it's been introduced the general consensus in the gaming communitty is that it's best when its on?
>inb4 more input lag with secure boot on
thats cause of anticheats, not a fault of secure boot

The recent obsession over cheaters is an indoctronated fear by the tech industries and game publishers to mine more data from normie gamers in an attempt to tank performance for more hardware sales and to encourage system and cloud rental servies. You will own nothing. Especially not your medical, financial, ad profile, internet usage, and offline patterns are tracked back to the predators. The jews are influencing impressionable anons like (You) into thinking the people who reject these dark patterns are brownoids and poors who want to ruin your gayming experience. When in reality you're just defending these horrific patterns.
Have fun with your drm, kernel level anticheat deceit, Apple shit tier standardization of hardware and software, and botnets. All to play EA's latest attempt to wash away the fact that they were voted the world's worst company in the world.

it is, so much so that if you google "secute boot default", most posts are reporting it NOT being on being as an unwanted and unexpected behavior and as an issue to be fixed(aka, it should always be on by default), and this goes as far back as 2013.

yes, with secure boot being ON by default...

Are you talking about pre-built computers or motherboards that you as the user buy? Your language suggests the latter, but the substance of your statements suggests the former.
Secure boot is enabled on pre-builts like Dells, yes. It is NOT enabled on user purchases standalone motherboards that you have to buy your own CPU and RAM for, at least I've never seen one with it enabled before.

>It is NOT enabled on user purchases standalone motherboards that you have to buy your own CPU and RAM for, at least I've never seen one with it enabled before.
it is, and i've never seen one with it disabled before
the only times it is disabled is when your boot drive is set to MBR, but even that happens automatically(bios detects MBR boot drive, asks if you want to change it to GPT, and if you select no, it automatically switches secure boot off, which just confirms it was on by default), but that isn't really something anyone does anymore

>>717759508
Then I dunno what the fuck you've been buying. It's 100% disabled on all of the ones I've ever had.
Unless you're suggesting I'm somehow booting into Arch with secure boot enabled despite having never touched the BIOS setting for secure boot or adding any keys to my boot loader.

Sure as hell ain't booting MBR with CSM.

W11 doesn't require you to have secure boot on to install and run, it only requires your hardware be secure boot capable.

Most motherboard manufactures default it off incase you manage to botch the OS install and W11 managed to encrypt all your drives with default on bitlocker, among other shenanigans.

I could take complete control of any Jedi Outcast/Academy server (and Quake 3, RTCW/ET but I didn't play those) that allowed map downloads. We had to disable downloads after the first time someone did it to us (it also took the server provider a few days to restore the game files the hacker casually overwrote)

Another exploit in that game, all it could do was crash the server but was much harder to guard against, and trying to get rid of the guy doing it with VPNs was a pain in the fucking ass.
The code to do it?
say aaaaaaaa...(over 1024 a's)
yep that's all this caused a buffer overflow and instantly crashed unmodded servers

This is not the first time I've seen him accused of cheating and this webm is pretty damning, crazy to think he might have built an entire career off cheating.

I cannot imagine using Linux over Windows back then. XP was an excellent OS and Linux was beyond garbage then. It's only just passable today, and that's only because Microsoft ruined a good thing when they released Windows 8.
