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:

Wanting to play competitive games without cheaters is something that real users actually want and they get real value from. Your mockery of these people doesn't remove the value they get from being able to play without cheaters.

Having encryption, keys and software that I cannot control because game makers and copyright owners want more profit is ridiculous.

Again. You are ignoring that users gain real value from this. The reason why copyright owners are making more profit is because user's are finding value in their product and they are being given what they want.
