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?
I have my doubts too. I don’t know of this is even legally possible. And in case Valve does that, the servers could get shut down very quickly with an order; if that is not legal at all, I don’t know.
