    Agreed. Permanent hardware bans have been a thing since the PS3/360 era.

    I’m not saying it’s a good thing that they can unilaterally disable hardware you purchased (although I certainly understand the reasoning wrt cheaters and pirates) but the author here is acting like the idea is some completely new scheme from the diabolical industry villains du jour.

    It’s disingenuous at best.
