With all the new amazing games coming out basically every month, lets not forget some slightly older games worth playing. Like DOOM Eternal, that just removed Denuvo Anti-Tamper.
Finally, right? They already removed Denuvo Anti-Cheat back in 2020 but now Denuvo is entirely gone as of the update released September 5th, 2023. So it should work better than ever, although it already did work quite brilliantly before because it was a very optimised game.
Any form of DRM is bad for consumers, so it's nice to see DOOM Eternal set free of the Denuvo curse.
Want to see how it can run on Steam Deck? Here's a quick chatty video below:

Seriously, the performance on Steam Deck is really impressive. Probably one of the best looking and performing shooters available to play with Proton on Steam Deck by far.
And I'm glad Deck users are likely to get a few extra frames and/or a few extra minutes of battery life because of this change.
Still, I've got Doom II, Doom 64, and Doom 2016 to get through first, and those're going to take me a while - because of how badly I get motion-sickness from first-person games, I have to play a little at a time, exclusively on handheld devices. By then I'd imagine that the price will have dropped, too!
Quoting: PublicNuisanceA good first step but to get me interested in even a discount purchase they also have to banish the need for a Bethesda.net account.Oh, is that actually required for this game? At least in the Unity engine ports of Doom and Doom II, you can cancel out of the prompt and it'll never pester you about it again.
Quoting: PenglingGood news! I've been waiting for this to happen.You're Doomed.

I enjoyed Doom a lot and finished it, but I haven't been able to get into Doom Eternal in the same way so I stopped playing it long ago... Sometimes I need to force myself to play a game for longer to really get into it.
Quoting: GuestTo their credit, they actually removed DRM, unlike most. Positively neutral praise!Denuvo gets removed from all games eventually, as it is a subscription model. At some point they won't make enough money on the Stores anymore, to satisfy the high subscription prices of Denuvo. Which is the only real positive part about Denuvo.
