Developers of the upcoming Civilization VII game, Firaxis, are looking for some feedback regarding the game. This is our opportunity to show them there are many players on GNU/Linux and that integrating Denuvo anti-cheat rootkit would be a big no-no (it’s mentioned in one of the questions).
Done. Glad they have a checkbox calling out Denuvo DRM as a dealbreaker.
It seems they already know how the community feels 🤣
This is back to the thing where a AAA game studio ignores what they know about their audience and apologizes to investors later.
I hope that’s not what’s happening here, but I won’t hold my breath.
Here is a link to this survey announcement on Steam, for those (like me) who wanted some evidence of it actually being official.
Thanks for sharing this.
Here’s hoping they listen to feedback.
I left this series because it became a buggy mess. I added “stop making a buggy mess” anywhere I could. I’m not holding my breath, but I would love to get back into playing Civ again.
I guess there’s always Civ II, though. It’s quite stable, now, and runs everywhere.
Same. I’ve played all the Civs. But I feel like the same issues with something like the Sims is creeping into the Civ franchise. The game has more features but somehow is less fun. I got into Humankind a little while ago and had loads of fun with that.
Done. And be sure to select Denuvo DRM is a deal breaker towards the end!
Done! I told them this is the first Civ game in a long time that I have no interest in picking up at launch, because of Denuvo and that the price is wildly unreasonable. Nearly $170 Canadian for the full edition!
This is actually the first I’ve heard of Denuvo, but if Wikipedia’s page on it is any indication, it sounds pretty awful! Anyway, I’ve checked the dealbreaker box on the survey.
Make sure you check mods as being important. Support for mods is critical for any long-term enjoyment of a game.
