Developers of the upcoming Civilization VII game, Firaxis, are looking for some feedback regarding the game. This is our opportunity to show them there are many players on GNU/Linux and that integrating Denuvo anti-cheat rootkit would be a big no-no (it’s mentioned in one of the questions).

    This is actually the first I’ve heard of Denuvo, but if Wikipedia’s page on it is any indication, it sounds pretty awful! Anyway, I’ve checked the dealbreaker box on the survey.

      Denuvo is pretty terrible. I refunded the Scott Pilgrim game because of issues with Denuvo. (crashing and frame drops) I pirated the game instead and then had no issues. It harms paying customers more than pirates which is crazy.

        That’s pretty sad when you have to pirate a game just to make it playable. I probably shouldn’t admit to having cracked games in the past for this reason. Yarrr!
