On PC the only upgrade that would generate a new hardware ID would be a complete mobo replacement and that's somewhat rare. Upgrading your CPU/GPU/RAM does not regenerate the hardware ID.
- nullifidian 3y ago>Upgrading your CPU On the recent Intel platforms upgrading your CPU required upgrading your mobo too, and there are many people who upgrade almost every generation, i.e. 1-2 years. Burdening game developers with this is unjust. The engine fee should be tied to the game's purchase, or game related purchases(DLC, other paid content). AMD also promised (iirc) that the AM5 will only be good for 2 generations.
- gambiting 3y agoI'm aware. Yet I am prepared to wager that the number of people who upgrade their own mobo(instead of buying a whole new pc/laptop) is absolutely insignificant on the scale of the market.
