    Yeah its probably rent seeking, I was just pointing out there are legit reasons to ban certain hardware.

      I get your argument, but I'd say it makes room for a legit reason to control and identify hardware, not ban it.

        absolutely, hence why I put forward the idea of an API that would allow games to stop people from joining multiplayer matches or flag their highscores if sketchy hardware is involved! For Single Player games, who cares!

        But deep down we all know that this first and formost is a money grabbing scheme from micro$oft
