With Denuvo DRM!
Oof. That’s a nope.
Does going gold mean anything anymore? Nearly every major game is garbage at release and needs tons of patches and fixes.
It means there’s something in the box now. That’s about it.
It is called “going gold” because it is the gold standard for measuring the tolerance level for embarrassment from releasing the pile of garbage a project produced. Going gold is done at exactly the point when that drops from intolerable to tolerable to the stake holders.
I generally like the Civ games but I’m definitely not a Day 1 player. I’ll probably pick this up in a heavily discounted bundle with the inevitable expansions and at least some of the DLC in a Steam sale a couple years from now.
Can’t wait for it to be on sale without denuvo
Meaningless marketing bs
Deck verified too
After thinking about it for weeks I think I’ve finally settled on buying it, assuming day 1 performance is good. No preorders. I’m not installing that denuvo garbage on my pc though so at least civ 7 has finally made me switch to Linux last weekend.
Denuvo is fully intact under Linux though. It’s actually even worse than under Windows or at least it used to be, because switching between different Proton versions actually counts towards the 5 machines within 24 hours limit.
This is a native Linux port I believe.
Running through Proton may still be preferable, depending on the quality of the port.
So then it’ll have native Linux Denuvo I guess…?
I’ve seen rumours of native Linux support for Denuvo, but I don’t believe there have been any native Linux ports that have used it if it exists.
My interest depends on their dlc policy. I play 4x games with friends and some of my friends can’t always buy the latest cool dlc. I want to be able to play with stuff I paid for even when I play with them.
Is there a box PC version of the standard edition? Even if it’s just a game code in the box, I like the other stuff physical copies usually come with
