    I’d be interested to know how they’re going to track this? They’d need to create some sort of fingerprint for each device, and store it together will all already installed games / software in some sort of database in perpetuity.

        Nahh, they are absolutely fine charging the dev 100 times for the 100 times a GPU reviewer installed the game on a fresh system. That’s 100 billings! All they see is money.

      Saw this screenshot on Mastodon. They won’t tell how they’re going to track it exactly but it sounds like some weird estimation work.
