Won't there be a Pluton-based anti-cheating solution? Seems like a natural opportunity for Microsoft. Edit: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2022

Won't there be a Pluton-based anti-cheating solution? Seems like a natural opportunity for Microsoft.

> Microsoft already used Pluton to secure Xbox Ones and Azure Sphere microcontrollers against attacks that involve people with physical access opening device cases and performing hardware hacks that bypass security protections. Such hacks are usually carried out by device owners who want to run unauthorized games or programs for cheating.
So initially you could have Pluton-only servers and down the line non-Pluton hardware will simply be obsolete.

On the plus side, anything with Apple silicon or a T2 chip has this available today already in macOS, so that's every shipping Mac starting in what looks like 2018: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208862 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208862 They won't have the Ultra GPU, but Apple's been shipping for years and Microsoft is just now bringing Pluton to market. I do wish them luck, but that's a lot of PC gamer hardware to depreciate.
