What about all the other games with malware, like Denuvo and similar?

- giancarlostoro 5mo agoI recommend installing Linux. If it wont play on Linux even with Proton, you shouldn't give them a single penny.

- freedomben 5mo agoI agree, although I've made exceptions for a very small number of games with Denuvo (actually, just Hogwarts Legacy, which in hindsight I'm glad I did even though it still hurts my soul a bit) and they can run on Linux (I have nothing else but Linux). It's mostly kernel-level anti-cheat that won't run from what I've read.
- giancarlostoro 5mo agoIf it plays on Linux I don't personally care if its got Denuvo, its isolated by Proton, so not really a big deal. I do think its really pointless, because none of these tools ever truly stop game cheating.
- freedomben 5mo agoOh yeah completely agree. They don't even stop warez either as it only takes a little while for it to be broken. Mainly all it does is punish paying users, and cost them sales (from people like me) who don't want the potential headache.
- cassianoleal 5mo agoI only game on Linux. I don’t run Windows, period. I like that it keeps those kinds of malware out of my reach, and I don’t mind skipping games that use them. I would like for it to go away entirely though. Both because I find it an appalling practice, and because I want more gamers playing more games on Linux.
- nekzn 5mo ago"drm is malware" is so 2005.
- wanzg 5mo ago"rootkits are malware" is in fact eternal.
- _imnothere 5mo agoA saying being old doesn’t make it invalid anyway. What’s your point?
- nekzn 5mo agoMy point is that this saying is the tritest of the trite, and therefore not worth being posted.
- mschuster91 5mo agoWell, Riot Games just today (!) admitted to hard-bricking cheating hardware [1]. This kind of stuff definitely is malware, and your comment aged like milk.

- nosioptar 5mo agoGog.com only sells games without DRM. Most games on itch.io are not DRMed.
