I’ve never bought or played a game with Denuvo, but I want to get Final Fantasy VII Revelation on launch and the PC version will have Denuvo, according to the Steam page.
How big a problem is this typically? Can I expect it to work on Linux?
I could go for the PS5 version, but the last game (FF7 Rebirth) had a shitty performance mode on PS5, and my PC is a good bit more powerful. So I’d lean toward PC if it’s viable.
It seems like a safe bet that Square-Enix willl eventually ditch Denuvo, since they do that for most of their games. So I’m not too worried long-term but I want a smooth experience day 1.
Normally I’d wait for user reports, but I definitely want to play on day 1, so I’ll be one of the users reporting instead. :)
What’s your experience been if you’ve been stuck with Denuvo before?
Denuvo robs you of ownership and control. Do not give a company money for what is merely a digital rental. Fuck that. The first two in the trilogy did not use it, so adding it to the finale is a thieving scumbag move.
Don’t buy anything that ships with Denuvo. Do not buy it on console instead. Do not buy it at all. Fuck these thieving corporations.
Yeah I’d like to play Crimson Desert but holding off on buying until Denuvo is gone.
