No worries: i am locked out of games using denuvo just because they use denuvo.
I have been boycotting games with denuvo for years, this kind of bullshit is why.
Then you reclaim to Steam that the game is not working, Steam reimburses you the full cost and takes it off from the game’s sale.
So another way game studios shoot themselves in the foot by using Denuvo.
Remember it from resident evil village and elden ring. If you set proton to hotfix it can update and count as changed. Therefore I set all games to use just to latest proton ge.
you WILL use our enshittified product, or nothing at all

That nothing sounds a lot more appealing. Please, tell me more.
.That took me longer to get than I’d care to admit but well done.
It made me include at least one none space character but it worked out I suppose
Sadly most people don’t have the same view it seems…
I would choose nothing, but thankfully there are loads of fantastic games that don’t ship with malware. I give them my money, instead.
Pssst, there are FOSS games
If it were up to the publishers they would force us to give them money against our will. They would shun people for choosing not to buy their games the way they shun people for pirating. Thankfully the first one is illegal and the second one is just so asinine and unreasonable that any publisher who did it would lose all respect for it. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t want these things if they could get away with it. These publishers are way more evil and greedy than many of us really give them credit for.
Fair reminder everyone, if you wish to find out easily which games have and don’t have Denuvo I recommend following the Denuvo Games Curator which will tell you which ones have it and which ones used to have it. It’s a great tool for avoiding these games.
That’s good, at least we’ll filter them out
Getting locked out for 24 hours for changing between 5 different versions of Proton isn’t the worst, mostly just sucks for people who test stuff or benchmark.
Same thing also happens on Windows if you replace hardware (for example doing benchmarking across multiple gpu models)
Obviously fuck denuvo, I hate drm as much as the next guy in this community. But being locked out from using more than 5 different versions of Proton in 24 hours isn’t that bad, you can just switch back to one of those 5 and it keeps working. (assuming it worked in the first place, which at this point with how good proton has gotten it probably does)
