Quoting: tamodoloI refuse to buy DENUVO games. It's too problematic and cannot be circunvented easely to prevent the game to give headaches. So I just will not buy a game that have DENUVO on PC. I'll preffer the console version for DENUVO games and with a large discount because these games DO NOT deserve money as they cause inconvenience and bad service.

Mostly agreed. I picked up a copy of Ghostwire: Tokyo as one of Epic's free offers. At one point I had to wait 24 hours to play it as I'd changed the wine version too often whilst configuring. I believe the Denuvo cancer has since been removed from this particular game.

Looking through my Steam collection, I see that from EA I only have the Dragon Age & Overlord games and Alice: Madness Returns. By the looks of things, it'll stay that way too!

Blimey. I think I'll just stick with my distro's repositories which are at least curated!

Quoting: GuestMoreover, I am skeptical of the "pro-consumer claims" that people have of the EU. I heard that some crack scene groups got sent to prison in Germany for tampering with Denuvo, if anything thats anticonsumer
You surely can provide a source about the Denuvo case?

Besides: Pro-consumer doesn't mean anything goes. Everything is based in the current laws.
