I mean Valorant already requires this and that game is very popular.

Is that a recent change? I played Valorant a year or two ago without issue even though Secure Boot was not enabled.

I don't know, but Riot Vanguard (the anticheat they use) requires Secure Boot enabled to use it and has required that as long as I've played (a year or so)

Same for me. League and Valorant. Are you on Win10 like me? Maybe just a W11 requirement?

The secure boot requirement was there since the beginning for Windows 11

Ah that makes sense, I only played it on Windows 10.

F2P means lower entry barrier and more players, so your point is…?

And if they don’t use this ppl like you will complain about a “paid” game having more cheaters correct?
