Hardware ban?
Question: What is the reason to ban hardware ? 1. Some people do not have the money for new over price components. 2. So is Intel and Amd and Nvidia pushing game creators to push bogus hardware ba...

@JerrySkidd HWID bans are becoming the norm in the gaming world. Anyone can now spoof an IP with a simple VPN which a lot of people do run now. So when they hit with HWID bans this actually stops them from access EA games to just cheat some more or abuse in the chat you can speak with players. They do not wish to have those players ruining the experience of others because they chose to not play a game properly. So with that this is why I feel HWID bans are made.
- @E9ine_AC Even though HWID bans are as easy to bypass as an IP is. >_>
When i said hardware bans , I meant you down load a game and the game software scans your hardware and says you cant play due to your system doesn't meet the requirements , that should be left to the user to decide there are still old cpus and motherboards that can still play modern games even at 60fps , for example I used a phenom 1090t 6-core with a 980ti to play battlefield 5 @80 fps on medium in 2020 had that cpu since dec 2009 , I HAVE upgraded to 3950x and new complete rig ,,, Im just saying that the hardware companies' are pushing for hardware bans to sell more parts because computer parts can now go further in long term use they dont want that they want to sell parts and i get it . Now I did try to down load bf2042 on the Phenom 1090t 6 core rig and it said the hardware didnt meet the requirements , just like Blizzard on COD said the same thing .
But since i've upgraded to 3950x rig , I definitely love max settings at 150 + fps no REGREATS AT ALL ... I LOVE BF FRANCHISE since the first release long long ago..
@JerrySkiddSystem Requirements and HWID Bans are two completely seperate topics
in general HWID Ban is referred to them banning your specific hardware id so that specific part can never be used to play the game again, you can replace it with another card or other part (s) of the same model but your old ones just won’t be usable because their id is blocked idk how to really describe it basically every part on your computer comes with a different hardware id so no 2 parts are ever the same... think of it like DNA but for Computer parts
