Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game

  It’s because of testing the game on different versions of Proton, which is treated as a hardware change. The fault lies entirely with Denuvo, and with anti-consumer DRM in general.

  And the windows circlejerk says private, secure, performant OSes that also play most games are trash not worth trying. Hm.

    It’s not a circlejerk to want to play a game I’ve paid for

      Weirdly defensive about something that you yourself admitted that no one accused you of being

        I’m saying calling it a circlejerk is unnecessarily derisive when the post I was responding to even calls out that Linux alternatives play most games. Most games is not all of my games. I’m not a Microsoft fanboy by any stretch, but if it’s the only way to play a game I want to play, that is what I’ll do.

  I’m not a huge Linux stan, but it’s pretty damn close to it. I rarely run into compatibility issues, and when I do, there’s a very high chance a workaround exists. Hell, there’s even times when a game actually runs smoother on Linux.

  In regards to the topic at hand, Denuvo’s activation limit fucks over Windows users, too. It just happens far more often due to the compatibility layer (e.g. proton, wine, etc) making it look like it’s a new computer trying to access the Denuvo servers for a game each time you change it when testing (e.g. proton v8, v9, experimental, etc).

  Rule 1 of Lemmy: Worship Linux, or be subjected to poor treatment, unfortunately.

  It is if anti-cheats & DRMs are not included in the package

  It is, except for the ones that come with built in APTs.
