A quote from a review of the game Alien: Resurrection written in 2000:

The game’s control setup is its most terrifying element. The left analog stick moves you forward, back, and strafes right and left, while the right analog stick turns you and can be used to look up and down.

What does it mean to be secure? Allowing a megacorp to mandate what you can and can’t do on your own hardware means that hardware is less secure, not more.

TPM isn’t for your security, it’s for Microsoft and Disney and other megacorps’ security against you
