  While I agree that Denuvo is bad, some of the information on that site is just plain wrong.

  For example, it says Denuvo doesn’t work on Linux and macOS through wine which is just plain wrong. It works perfectly fine as long as you don’t keep changing wine versions or you will run out of activations for 24 hours.

    Your account being disabled if you have a problem with payment methods also needs a giant [citation needed] next to it. Has this ever actually happened or is this made up?

      The only thing I know is that access to the specific purchase might get blocked, if there’s a payment issue. Not Steam directly, but a friend of mine once bought Diablo 3 for WoW gold on Battle.net, something happened after a while, and he lost access to the game, dunno if the other side refunded the game or whatever. All the other games still worked, but he’d have to buy D3 again to play it. I would be surprised if Steam blocks the whole account.

      If they mean you buy a game, then there’s a problem with payment, but they should still let you download and play, that’s dumb.

      The part about Steam Support being extremely slow is also old news. I think that’s been a lot better for years now. I don’t know if it was around the time they were forced to implement refunds, but I think that’s all outsourced now, and you don’t have to hope a Valve dev checks the support mailbox anymore.
