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?
This urge to get the new hotness right away just plays into the hands of these scumbag corporations that want to milk us. The game will be just as good if not better a year from now (or if it winds up sucking you can save your money). There’s plenty else to play already, don’t let yourself be manipulated.
