It looks like maybe they took your suggestion to heart? I’m assuming the base BFD Player will include a couple kits and be free, but not sure about that.
I’m not certain about the swapping of internal HDD’s triggering a de-authorization though, assuming it’s not the boot drive with BFD3/LM on it, or a drive where BFD expansions are installed. I’ll have to remember to swap a scratch HDD and verify.
