Reddit and lemmy like to say that but I doubt any noticeable portion of the player base is going to bother. Has been for almost every game with denuvo lol

Sadly your average person just doesn't care about consumer rights, in any matter.

I learned my lesson about malicious DRM when Starforce broke my new computer's DVD drive back in the day. Fortunately it was still under warranty so I had it fixed, but sucked all the same.

I don't like denuvo but for me it's the price that's the deal-breaker. Nearly $170CAD for the full version is absolutely bonkers, and I simply can't justify it. So I guess I'm picking it up in a Steam sale in 2028 or something when it's $40 with all the DLC.

Why not go with the base version then?

[–] CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

I could, but even the base version here is $90. I'm good to just wait, honestly.

In 2028 expect to see an ad every time you click "next turn".
