From the trailers it honestly looked really cool, but then I saw and heard about the all draconian user-disrespecting stuff like the online-even-for-campaign requirement and highly invasive kernel level anticheat that requires TPM 2.0?! That part felt bonkers to me.

Like is that gonna be a thing now? “This game demands to register a cryptographic key with your bootloader to make sure you’re not up to funnybusiness.” (I’m not 100% sure how it works, so my ignorance is filled in with LOTS of suspicion…)

Also EA just got bought by like…Saudi private equity? That’s pretty spook to me, too.

I dunno. I just wanna play Titans on Battlefield 2142 again. And BF 3 and 4 were nice too…

Also a Linux gamer. (Shrug)

Don’t wanna scare you off too much! Just things to consider, because £60 certainly ain’t chump change! :)
