![]() Sure it will stop Pirates, I have no sympathy for them. Microsoft are luring us in with eye candy.īut don't be fooled, Windows 11 has a dark side and with TPM DRM becoming normalised on the Windows Platform, this will be the end of our complete freedom to be able to mod games, and the start of high prices. The only successful attack against PS4/Xbox One that I know of is being able to manipulate system memory externally, but CPUs now encrypt memory so that is no longer feasible). Unless Microsoft/Intel/AMD have made a big mistake in their implementation somewhere, which I doubt, the TPM DRM will most likely be next to uncrackable. Microsoft have many years of experience locking down the Xbox One quite successfully, and if it were possible to hack I'm sure that it would have been done by now. But if TPM is made a hard requirement by the OS, then that market of devices with a TPM will become large enough that it is worth shutting out those who don't have TPM. Denuvo is limited from requiring TPMs because TPMs are not common or are disabled by default, so this would shut out a lot of potential customers. What is it that developers would want which involve the use of a TPM? DRM.Ī DRM which is backed by a TPM is probably going to be much more secure than Denuvo. Well it would appear that Microsoft have finally got around to addressing the issues with the Windows Store which have been keeping developers away, and they have decided that they actually want Developers to use the Windows Store now. It is impossible or almost impossible to access the innards of a TPM without destroying it. ![]() The whole point of a TPM is to be able to 'trust' the hardware despite the user having physical access to it, because they are incredibly difficult to reverse engineer even with access to the hardware. ![]() It has occurred to me, that the reason why they want to require us to have the latest CPUs with TPMs is because these CPUs will lock Windows down tighter than an Xbox One. But I have not seen much analysis on WHY these hardware requirements are this way. Everyone seems to be really excited about Windows 11 because of the new UI, or are complaining about it because of the hardware requirements. ![]()
