Also if they required it, older systems that don't have it would be excluded as well. If they care about active users they won't do it for the mw4 launch.

There is a few things they could do even without IOMMU, no idea why they haven't even bothered to tackle DMA. Even Javelin has a solution without IOMMU being enforced and for a while there it was raping a lot of firmwares, they just rate limit PCIE devices that don't need to be on (NVME obviously gets a pass). Ricochet just has no care in the world, their only focus is doing monthly banwaves on internals and keeping rage cheaters away, if they do that they can sweep everything else under the rug and do a PR post as usual. I do hope they do something for MW4 though, when the free firmwares are a golden pass still after all these years.

Yeah if you hit a report limit it gets enforced.
