Someone buys a used Ryzen 7 5800X3D. “Valorant” and other Riot games won’t start with it because the previous owner was a cheater.

Does the CPU have a serial number that's visible to the system?

"I didn't read the article that attempts to explain this and explicitly states CPUs don't have a unique ID."

🙏be constructive instead insultive:

@artyom@piefed.social please take the time to read the article that further explains how all modern commercial hardware is compromisable & serialized
“I warned you so” doesn't even remotely describe how I feel about this.
yes, my bloodlust hasn't subsided

If you don't even try informing yourself, why should someone else help you out? Just to encourage your laziness?

Well not really, given nothing they said suggested they didn't read your 6-point excuse to comment on material you haven't read (I did); you just asserted they didn't.
