At the start of the month, Electronic Arts (EA) and Battlefield Studios shared Battlefield 6 gameplay, and alongside that, the system requirements for the title were also announced. Perhaps the most striking thing about the requirements was the need for Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 that were deemed necessary for the proper implementation of the latest Javelin anti-cheat system in the game.

As users may be reluctant to turn these features on inside their BIOS, EA reiterated that this was absolutely necessary, as it stated "to play on PC, you must have Secure Boot turned on."

Lmao, excuse me? These companies think they own our devices. No video game is so important you need me to requite kernel level anticheat along with all of this security shit meant for businesses. In most cases the average user doesnt even need secure boot and TPM, or an online account for that matter. But now you need all that shit for 12 year olds to call you slurs on CoD.

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME. I LITERALLY JUST DISABLED SECURE BOOT TO GET NVIDIA DRIVERS TO WORK ON LINUX.
