Certain third-party gaming Digital Rights Management (DRM) software may incorrectly recognize 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors efficient-cores (E-cores) as another system. This prevents games implementing that DRM software from running successfully. Games may crash during launch or gameplay, or unexpectedly shut down.

  Does this affect my DRM-free GOG purchases? If I only I could get my short-sighted friends to leave Steam too.

    No it doesn't. It's because of shitty drm thinking the "little" cores are a different machine on those processors.
