Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

Online multiplayer games are increasingly requiring Secure Boot and TPM to combat cheating by using hardware and firmware security. Secure Boot verifies the boot process, while TPM provides a unique hardware identifier and verifiable boot state. These measures aim to prevent unauthorized kernel-level drivers and ban evasion by uniquely identifying cheaters' hardware.
