When do you actually need an HWID spoofer for NBA 2K27?

Disclosure again: we sell an HWID spoofer, link is at the bottom of the page. I’m not here to push it, I’m trying to figure out when people think one is even worth the money.

Do you only think about it after you’ve been hardware banned? Or do some of you treat it as something to have in place beforehand? Also, if you’ve used a spoofer with any game before, what did you wish you’d known going in? Tell us what the decision looked like for you.
