Well, I’m a patient gamer. For this game I would have made an exception and bought it on day one. Guess I’ll wait a few years and buy it at a fraction of the price with bugs fixed and no shit attached.
Yeah this is me with Civ VII too. Normally I’ll pick up a new Civ game on day one, but since the new one has Denuvo and it’s nearly $170 CAD for the full version, I guess I’ll just be picking it up in a Christmas sale in like 5 years or something.
I still haven’t gotten my fill of Civ V, and I’ve barely touched Civ VI. So I’m not going to bother with anything using Denuvo when I have other games to play w/o that nonsense.
Yeah V and VI (even even IV I think) are still perfectly fine and playable, so I’m happy to wait pretty much indefinitely lol.
Patience is the key - I hate Denuvo, you (probably) hate Denuvo, and most devs hate Denuvo… once the magic first week or two are done, the new trend seems to be devs patching out Denuvo once their release sales have peaked so fingers crossed this will continue.
A cheaper, patched, DRM-less game a few months behind release. Winner.
That’s not a “new trend,” it’s been that way for a long time. Denuvo is a subscription model for publishers, and it doesn’t make sense to keep paying for it after the sales have already peaked.
That’s nice to know, I’m glad sources of greed sometimes cancel each other.
Not sure I’d have bought it on launch day but definitely early as long as reviews were positive and it ran okay in Linux.
I kickstarted the first one, so I’ve got no problem waiting until it’s on GoG or at least Denuvo-less on Steam.
Aight, Glad for the warning. Couldn’t care less if they take it out this is on my “no go” list.
Oh well… Maybe I could finish the first part instead.
