      Why they did this is beyond me! 😔

        Oh no! Billy cheated his way to a new cape!! 🙄

        It really is quite silly. There aren’t even leaderboards or anything

          Billy cheating made you unlock everything in 1 too, that’s their reasoning at least.

            And fair enough, but you need to install a rootkit on my machine so Billy can’t get me a new cape?!

        It’s doubly puzzling, because that component is just disabled on Linux and Steamdeck.

      Honestly there were a few reasons I didn’t get it, but I’ll say the rootkit was a big one.

      Yeah, that had me already decided that if I did get it, it would be on ps5 not pc. Though this move will probably make me do that in general for any ps exclusive game they make a pc port of.
