It's all been downhill since Modern Warfare. COD 3 in 2006 was when it peaked for me back before screaming children and online unlocks.

Yeah. Maybe if it drops under $20 and has a positive Steam Customer rating, I would consider it.

But not if I have to change my Bios just to play it. Most gamers won't even understand how to turn on those security features.

Most gamers won't even understand how to turn on those security features.

Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 are usually enabled by default. At least they have been in every build I've done or helped with in the last several years. I'm pretty sure Windows 11 requires both anyway, and that's going to be the majority of users.

As much as people complain about these things on places like Lemmy, the reality is most people don't care much if at all.
