Their fingerprinting is flawed if this story is true. If I take someone else’s CPU and drop it into what is otherwise different hardware then the fingerprint should absolutely change. If it doesn’t then their fingerprinting is broken and this is going to happen whether any particular CPU has been banned or not.
It seems far more plausible that someone got themselves banned and they’re lying to try to get out of it.
If they are banning on a single piece of hardware such as a single CPU, then they are morons.
Sounds like FUD… I want to see it confirmed by someone reputable with an explanation before believing it.
What’s to explain? He’s a fucking moron who started and lost a was that jacked up prices. To try to shift blame he’s now going to fuck over a bunch of friendlies.
What kind of stupid shit is this? Russia is the aggressor and can fuck right off anytime they want to.
In this case they even had a completely different install of Windows. There is simply no way at all that the fingerprint should match. If it did match, then their implementation sucks. Fuck them if they made it that bad intentionally. Better to have to catch and ban the same person 10 times than ban an innocent person even once.
