According to Gigabyte, that code is now cryptographically signed and verified, 'thwarting any attempts by attackers to insert malicious code,' and the server they're downloaded from is also authenticated with a cryptographic certificate.

But a day after Eclypsium revealed the firmware issue, Gigabyte announced updates to its firmware with 'enhanced verification' of the code its updater program downloads to machines that use its motherboards. Now players can enjoy even more of the award-winning title.Gigabyte did not respond to WIRED’s multiple requests for comment regarding Eclypsium’s findings. Earlier this year, Dontnod permanently made Tell Me Why's first chapter free on PC and Xbox. The collaboration gave rise to the character of Tyler Ronan, a transgender man who works with his twin sister Alyson to unearth the mysteries about their traumatic youth. In developing this particular endeavor, the crew at Dontnod consulted with organizations like GLAAD to ensure the project culminated in an authentic trans narrative. Tell Me Why, of course, counts as no exception. Since the advent of Life is Strange in 2015, the French studio has built a reputation for tackling a variety of social issues and topics in its interactive adventures. Xbox Game Studios published the story-driven experience, which became the first major AAA game to star a trans character in a leading, playable role. Dontnod launched Tell Me Why in the summer of 2020 to predominantly favorable reviews across the board. In honor of Pride Month, Life is Strange creator Dontnod Entertainment is allowing PC and Xbox players to download and own Tell Me Why at no extra cost.
