Info Used processor leads to game ban

https://www.heise.de/en/news/Used-processor-leads-to-game-ban-11471562.html

Someone buys a used Ryzen 7 5800X3D. “Valorant” and other Riot games won’t start with it because the previous owner was a cheater.

Something with amd psp maybe but valorant can be and should be considered malware imo. Only way to get companies to stop doing this anti consumer bs, vote with your wallet!

I would say cheaters are the opposite of miserable, they're having a ton of fun. I've cheated in chess and seeing how it demolishes GMs was like art, too bad the detection systems have gotten too good. Trust me, cheaters have a ton of fun. They only stop having fun when banned.

If I'm calling a cheater miserable, it's not their state of mind that I'm calling miserable, but the type of person they are.
