The game wouldn't even run for like the first 5 days because they required BIOS updates from manufacturers for the game to even work.

The game regularly crashed for me 4 months after release, to the point where I stopped playing it.
Does that mean the game is using the TPM or similar for its DRM?
I wouldn't associate the mess that was motherboard firmware around launch with anything but AMD. The firmware didn't even boost the CPU right either.
I have an Intel SKU and I couldn't launch the game for 2 months after release.
Because of BIOS issues?
I updated the BIOS and nothing changed. After a few months they fixed it.
It was due to needing a specific version of AGESA, which also has to do with security and was likely related to DRM, hence why the game wouldn't boot.
