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?
