Totally lost my appetite for EA Games
previewWasted a couple of Euros on this pile of crap on Epic.
System requirements say 100GB, so I figured I could squeeze it onto my fastest SSD with ~120GB free. Nope! Insufficient disk space, because it needs 30% more space than “recommended,” like the numbers were just there for decoration.
The real problem and the fatal flaw is the anti-cheat garbage that requires Secure Boot, because apparently EA’s idea about Positive Play and fighting cheaters means violating my privacy and demanding I pull my pants down, bend over, and stick my butt in the air for their convenience.
The Trusted Platform Module on my PC is OFF and it will stay OFF. The companies behind TPM have shown time and again that they cannot be trusted, and their main concern is definitely not my privacy - it is to explore how far they can go with turning all of us into additional profit.
Until EA drops their rootkit-style anti-cheat they stay on my blacklist. Fortunately, this game is already in such big decline that I only wasted a couple of Euros on it. This is not about the money - it is a principle matter: I do not want to support a company that has no concern for the privacy or best interest of its customers.
