DRM has never stopped me from pirating a game, but multiple times it stopped me from buying it.

Better pick the correct Proton version from the get-go then Linux users, switching it more than 4-5 times within 24 hours or so will trigger Denuvo blocking the game from starting.

Or just don't buy this crap :)

is this intended from denuvo's side?

Probably not. I assume it registers it as different systems and blocks after too many.

As a Linux user, Civ 6 post launch support made me swear off of buying a 2k game ever again. Linux users got an objectively worse version of the game, and the fact they couldn't be bothered to add the 2k account exclusive leader to the Linux version shows they really don't care about customer loyalty. Rumors also say this game won't support mods, which is insane, as mods made Civ 6 playable with an actually functional UI. It's a shame, as I love the Civ series.

I've started playing with proton. Many say it users the GPU better and you gets better graphics but I didn't notice anything.

What it changed is that Linux version is like many years without updates, but with proton you have the windows version which is compatible with all mods and let's you run game of the month.

For the mods at least, the dev interview at PAX clearly had a moment when one guy said "the possibilities of combination with civilizations switching is going to be higher, especially with the modding community adding custom civs.

But since they said a huge part of the playerbase is console, I'm guessing mods won't be using the steam workshop but the launcher so that consoles can have mods...

As for Linux support yeah I would like to hope, maybe the stats of Civ6 on the steamdeck could push them to make it compatible but if they have denuvo I doubt it...

Civ 7 won't be using the 2k launcher. They announced that when they removed it from civ 6.

lol.

What in the history of electronic entertainment makes you think that they're done with doing the shitty thing now that they stopped doing it once?

It was announced by them that 2k launcher wont be used for Civ 7, so that, that makes me think it wont be used

Sometimes I wonder why companies make decisions like this. But then I remember just how many completely braindead executives are out there.

At least it's not denuvo anti cheat but their anti tamper is bad enough. Civ 6 is my most played game and I guess I'll have more time to play it now after all... It's really too bad I was very excited to try out the new features they've added.

If you like the new features you can always just go ahead and play some Endless Legends, most of it is from there

[–] Havald@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child)

Endless legend is undoubtedly a great game but I never liked the hero thing they have going on unfortunately.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Well Civ 7 will be very similar with the generals, what I didnt like personally was managing the items for the units and stuff

You might want to try Humankind then. Sounds like Civ 7 is basically copying the ideas from it anyway

parent

[–] Havald@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I've played humankind quite a bit actually. I had fun for a while but although I liked the idea at first I don't love the leader switching system as it is implemented in humankind.

So don't buy Civ 7, got it. Thanks!

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 9 points 2 years ago (1 child)

I really liked 5, but I never got 6 and don't plan on getting 7. Honestly, I'm not into what they offer anymore. There's other civ-likes out there now, and there's other genres I'd rather play anyway. I was watching civ 7 with some interest still, but for sure not with this.

I've been playing them since the first game and I don't think I've truly loved any of them since 4. So even though I've bought them all thus far, it is pretty easy to skip one of I don't like where they go. No games series can last forever.
