Are you able to shed any light on the actual NEED for this change over how BF2 was delivered? I do not really understand the concept of providing a tool to aid admins in keeping their servers clean of hacks, and then preventing access to it?
Was there a problem before with people accessing the PB folder?
Perhaps a little off topic, but as a GSP, I have also wondered how one applies to be an RSP for the game, as whether we can stream or not becomes moot if we cannot run servers anyhow.
