Battlefield 6 was the best-selling game in the U.S. in 2025.

Wow that's surprising to me considering how it required Secure Boot enabled, which bricked a lot of people's PCs. I installed the beta for my son and thought "there's no fucking way the average gamer is going to be able to do this."

    Did the definition of "brick" in this context change recently, or did secure boot literally destroy people's hardware?

    I had to put a jumper on the motherboard to do a hard BIOS reset on my son's PC, and format the hard drive and do a fresh OS install. There are reddit threads and YouTube videos of people doing the same. I consider that bricked, but I suppose your definition could be more extreme.
