Isn't it good? Does leaked key mean that now owners of hardware will be able to read and modify the firmware, including IME, and check it for backdoors?

Such keys should be in the hands of users, not Intel.

Realistically it means a lot more people are going to cheat in Valorant.

Oh no! Here, please, backdoor my OS with a kernel anticheat -- anything that saves me from cheaters in the current bideo game of the month! D:

Riot anti cheat is quite invasive but Valorant is a competitive ranked first person shooter, allowing cheaters violates the integrity of any ranking system of players, and that ranking system is one of the primary appeals of the game.
