Highguard Requires Secure Boot and Easy Anti-Cheat to Run
Highguard's requirement for Secure Boot and Easy Anti-Cheat significantly limits its accessibility, particularly for Linux users and those conscious of kernel modifications. This move effectively excludes a large segment of the gaming community, raising questions about inclusivity in modern gaming. The necessity of a TPM further complicates matters, as many gamers may not have this hardware available. - The reliance on proprietary solutions makes it challenging for open-source advocates. - Such restrictions could lead to a fragmented player base, impacting multiplayer experiences. While the game may offer a compelling experience, these requirements overshadow its potential. Overall, Highguard's launch feels more like a barrier than an invitation for gamers to join in.
