And the sad thing is xim or Chronus zen devices will just find a way to bypass this anyway.

This feels like a huge middle finger from Microsoft again.

I’m wondering if the workarounds they would devise would open the manufacturer to legal liability for circumventing the DRM.

It’s why I don’t really think that their main goal is to block cheating, it seems more likely they’re doing it to enforce controller exclusivity to get people to pay more for licensed first or second party controllers.

Cheat devices don’t care, they’ll easily find ways around it, even if it involves copyright or trademark infringement.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Xim and Chronus users are rampant in online games especially call of duty. Now that they own it, they are looking to filter those users out finally…. Or at least make it harder.
