Is Denuvo one of ones that works on linux? If not I'll be sticking to payday 2.

No problems using it with proton from what i know, but i still dislike denuvo.

@GamerKick Game is dead on arrival. There was rumors before the would be always online. Which at least most (not all!) people would have ignored, because this is an online focused game. But Denuvo? As if the masses would pirate an online focused game, that is online only anyway. I don't get this. Hopefully they will remove Denuvo after some time, like some other devs/publishers do.

Is piracy really such an issue for the PC Gaming industry? They must have some data we don't know. Why would they pay millions of Dollars otherwise?

It's digital snake oil.

Products or services that act as fig leaves for C-suites are a growth industry.

Mostly because it looks good for the suits and investors, and since it doesn't actually seem to hurt their sales that much (hint hint)

@Raji_Lev Imagine putting the money into actual development or some online infrastructure. Oh wait, that would make sense. Yeah, not gonna happen.
