Get a steam deck and you'll see why.

    How? Does the Steam Deck force Denuvo on everything or something?

    I like to use steam deck when I travel. Denuvo can refuse to launch without internet connection to reactivate a license. Also if you exceed 5 activations in a day you can't play the game for 24 hours. This includes switching which proton version you use to launch the game, which is sometimes necessary if something like the audio doesn't work properly on the default.

    Makes more sense. I had no idea that Denuvo was that unreasonable

    Yeah, it's something you shouldn't notice if you always have internet connection, but if you start playing where you won't always have internet connection that's when problems pop up. That's when you appreciate the DRM free games.

    No, and it runs denuvo games fine. It's things like EAC or EA Anti-Cheat that break on Deck/Linux.

    I think most people understand that DRM and Anti Cheat are done for 2 completely different reasons.

    Well, in the context of the Steam Deck, DRM works fine and anti-cheats often don't.

    I have no idea why you're talking about the Steam Deck and anti-cheat when the comment I replied to was strictly about Denuvo.

    Because Stardust said "Get a Steam Deck and then you'll see why" which makes no sense in the context of Denuvo DRM, hence it is most likely Stardust confusing anti cheat issues for DRM ones. Not that hard to figure out.
