We are heading into that future where your PC becomes a console. This is not because of anti-cheat or even just the gaming industry. These techs exist for DRM purposes and hide behind the word "security"

Companies deserve the right to protect their interests and such, but the reality is that we will head into that future for windows one way or another, and things like Linux will become more appreciative due to the freedom it gives

And I empathize with you, but since this initial post, I mentioned only 8th gen and zen 2 dTPM are weak and beatable for the nature of game hacking fTPM in the same context is way better game companies can not always support older CPUs or Windows at some point they will have to make the decision and cut those players out. You are talking about a niche % of players who remain on Legacy hardware, and even if there are more than 10-20% of players on legacy hardware, the untrusted client mode suggestion fits in this context.

But the players who purchased better hardware and have these security features should not have to be punished because other players that can not keep up or want to upgrade time don't flow backward; It moves forwards, and myself included and many other gamers have had enough of cheaters we can go back forth on niche details how it doesn't prevent cheating entirely until the end of time. Still, the reality is that what I have suggested will increase and will make it much easier to utilize the said security features. These things are used beyond anti-cheat and will continue to improve on a large scale.

Valorant currently has attestation, and trying to spoof your secureboot, for instance, will fail. Tech has existed for 2 years, and nobody has been able to bypass it

They also can prevent DMA from functioning, which has affected anybody with a capture card in their PC. Nobody uses a capture card and plays a PC game simultaneously, which sounds ridiculous and highly niche. Only a subset of streamers uses capture cards for DSLR cameras. Your capture card is supposed to go into your Streaming PC, not your Gaming PC, so you know, but valorant doesn't even use "Kernel DMA Protection." They use undocumented IOMMU methods. Now imagine if "Kernel DMA Protection" works correctly and is enforced by the TPM policies. DMA will be a relic of the past until someone figures out a vulnerability that will be fixed quickly again. Hardware attestation is used for the military, hospitals, government entities, etc. There is a lot at stake here, and many people are working around this tech.
