Oh & denuvo

Mostly this. I’m not paying for something that comes with malware. Not for $80, $20, or $1. Nobody should pay for malware.

Yup. I would have bought Persona 5 Royale and SMT V on day one, if there was no Denuvo. I normally don't open my wallet for $60 games.

Super Robot Wars Y? Not on my radar anymore. Denuvo has cost the companies at least $300+, and I am not a rich dude.

I might create a VM to play it for $1 tbf. But yeah I think I'm drawing the line at $5 for anything with denuvo

Denuvo is the only reason I'm waiting. I'm on Linux, and I'm not risking that Proton change license issue. And also I hate the performance hit that Denuvo causes.

Proton ? What's up with that ?

[-] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Denuvo will revoke your licence to play a game if it thinks you've installed the game on computers with different hardware. Issue is it gets confused by changing the proton version that runs the game, thinking it's a new install on a new computer, and so quickly bans you from playing the game.

Oh now I get the picture, jesus it's that bad huh

That, unfortunately https://www.404media.co/doom-the-dark-ages-drm-is-locking-out-linux-users-who-bought-the-game/ namely that each new Proton "install" e.g. switching version because there is a bug counts as a new install which are limited.

For the bigger picture https://www.defectivebydesign.org/

I just wished GOG put more effort, because their Anti-DRM stance is cool AF. I recently bought The Earth-2150 trilogy from GOG
