This is so dumb. as if there was no reasonable way to detect cheating without these super invasive anti-cheat monstrocities.

Honestly, 2 points:

• Actually surprised this was not a PS5 launch feature

• Not a bad idea really. Could cut down on some forms of scam, if you had to use a physical object instead of a bunch of numbers saved on your computer.

ME TOO! ME TOO! plz giv money, i smart also!

no no no. only stop it on websites we want people to quit. i.e. those belonging to the nerd reich.

Elon Musks bones.

No, wait, you said terrifying, not terrific. never mind.

EVE Online exists? (sorry! couln’t resist, don’t pod me!)

also World of Warcraft: Retired housewives

Call of Duty: Almost retired Mall Ninja Dads

Candy Crush: Actual Grandmas

conspiracy Youtube: Grandpas

Millions and Millions $$$ in hardware, all in light structures, in rural areas without much police presence you say?

Interesting.

What if we turn it on it’s other side and say: In the interest of its customers, Valve prohibits publishers from selling for a higher price on Steam than somewhere else.
