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.
I bought Devil May Cry, constantly wondered why i was getting so much frame drops and little freezes.
Eventually pirated DmC for a proper experience until they removed denuvo.
Last time i bought a game containing denuvo and the last devil may cry i bought, the series is dead to me now. What idiots keep thinking up these anti-piracy methods that bother their own customers and actively promotes piracy by offering a better quality service.
Yeah I’d like to play Crimson Desert but holding off on buying until Denuvo is gone.
