Civ 7 will potentially launch with Denuvo, based on Steam update

Thou Shall Not Preorder

i mean civ is never really worth buying until they put out a complete edition with all the features they removed so they could slowly sell them back to you as dlc.

I will potentially not buy it then.

How many times do we have to teach these companies this lesson? Anti-piracy DRM never stops pirates, it only causes harm to legitimate paying customers. Pirates get the objective better experience playing a game with DRM removed because they not only get the game for free, but it performs better than the version people pay for. Why pay money for something that is objectively worse than getting it for free?

I'm gonna wait for the platinum ultimate mega collector's anthology edition at a 90% discount after 7 years.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand there it vanishes from my Wishlist. Thought after Civ 5 it might be actually something potentially worth buying, but nope. Removing the Launchers just to add Denuvo... What an absolute dumbass move.

And the excitement I had has gone. Removed from wish list and added to ignore list.

Now we can all build cities at 15 fps!

That's one way to get people to turn to piracy.

Guess that's gonna be the first Civ game I'm not buying.

Oh. Well I was excited about Civ 7 right until this moment.

Anti-tamper = no mods worth your time = only worth playing a handful of times. Also may have trouble working on Linux.

DOA

Nope. If it does, I'm not buying it.

Ha ha ha...no

I guess I'll keep playing Civ 5, then?

Guess I'll wait for a nice drm-free cracked version rather than buying it.

There hasn't been a need for a new Civ since IV so I already wasn't gonna buy it, but now I'm gonna not buy it even harder.

Hahaha no.

Boo

Thats fine, after 6, didn't have much hype for the series left, guess this makes it easier to not buy.

On one hand, the gameplay doesn't usually change so drastically that a new version matters too much.

On the other, if they did dramatically change up the gameplay it might suck.

So even though they have a decent track record and I love Civilization, I would never pre-order or buy day 1. I'll wait and see if it's actually worth getting. I will also say, in my experience, like 90% of games that used Denovu have not been good in the first place. I can name only 1 I thought was worth its cost, and I only got it after they removed the DRM (Lies of P).

I don’t like DRM on principle, but I have not noticed any issue with Denuvo and I have never seen any of my friends say anything either. The way people on Reddit and Lemmy act make me think I’m in the minority. What issue do people see that I’m completely oblivious to?

Lords Of The Realm II just keeps winning.

Civ 7: "No more turns" living up to the name

Was looking forward to buying this on release day, but won't if it has that bullshit.

With what?

of course, because we can't have anything nice anymore

I probably wasn't going to play it anyway but damn
