[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 1 point 4 months ago (1 child) You could disable automatic updates. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago Unfortunately this doesn't stop the game from requiring an update. Automatic or not, if an update gets pushed, you don't get to choose to stay on the older version without putting yourself in offline mode. Denuvo is an always-online DRM. It will expire its session and prevent play unless re-authenticated. It's wild to me how the view around this has shifted. Back in 2013, this is how Microsoft wanted to design an entire gaming ecosystem. They got backlash, but it turned out they were just too up front about it. Instead we've had a decade of games that have slipped this requirement in through DRM and anti-cheat measures. permalink fedilink source parent
