Self-hosted servers with active moderation and a consistent, vetted player list? What are you, a communist?
Back in my day we only had community servers, and we liked it!

Even not as far back at BF4 we have 3rd party host-able servers.
They're still quite active today with few cheaters because people developed server side anti-cheat plugins to monitor suspicious stats and keep a blacklist of known cheaters and their alt accounts.
We always knew that of these things were never about fighting cheaters, but ensuring that customers don’t have any semblance of ownership over the things they purchased.
How long until the DRM is cracked and a "community version" is available?
... it'd be funny as fuck if it happens soon :)
Depends if it gets a dedicated enough fanbase for talented developers to put the work in.
Honestly, this whole thing is hilarious. My interest was limited to start with after 2042. Now it doesn't matter because I can't play anyway (I'm not playing a shooter on console). Furthermore, it's apparently a pain in the ass for Windows users, too. The incompetence is really incredible to watch.
something something Linux cheaters which is why there's TPM requirement
