A buyer of a second-hand AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D processor found that Valorant and other Riot Games titles would not run on his PC. The reason: the previous owner had been banned for cheating, and Riot's anti-cheat hardware bans are tied to the system, leaving the innocent new owner locked out of the games.

Why now: The story highlights how hardware-level cheat bans can unfairly punish innocent buyers of used computer parts.
