This isn't about stopping cheaters (cheat detection). This is about stopping repeat cheaters trying to ban evade. Detecting cheats, especially nowadays with hardware cheats (DMA, etc), is an entirely different ballgame.

IMHO, one of the most effective way to stop ban evaders is to actually charge money for the game.

Banning by TPM also makes ban evasion pretty expensive. At which point the cheater has to either buy a new mobo or solder a new TPM chip onto their mobo (not always possible). Though I guess at some point a sloppy vendor will leak TPM keys and it'll be spoof-able.

I could be wrong but couldn't you just get a pcie card that is effective a tpm card?

Ah you're right, I didn't know external TPM modules were a thing. Looks like they're only ~10ish usd too.
