Anon discovers what it’s like to own a piece of media
It’s getting rare to own anything. Everything is just a temporary license or subscription or even if you own the thing it’s dongled to the vendor and when the vendor is in a bad mood or goes bankrupt your thing can’t be used any more…

Know your enemy
Requires TPM 2.0? Wtf??
At least you’re warned about the bullshit requirements for a particular game.
Reminds me of what fdroid and aurora-store do, warning the users of potential “disgusting” features. That’s respect for its users
Pretty common in flatpak managers as well
Bro, I’ve got like 25 hours in the Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster, on my Steam Deck and laptop.
Yesterday, an update caused the game to launch with a black screen. So I tried a few different Proton versions, before I start getting a new error.
I take a look at the discussion board for the game on Steam… Fucking Denuvo considers each version of Proton to be a separate “activation” and it will only allow five BEFORE LOCKING YOU OUT OF THE GAME FOR 24 HOURS.
I have never really given a shit about Denuvo before, but this is so fucking infuriating. I paid for this game. I’ve already played 25 hours of this game. Now I can’t fucking play it?
Unbelievable. Denuvo is fucking trash, and I guess now I’m one of those people who avoids it.
It sounds like gog is pretty great, with their DRM free software.
I’m generally indifferent towards steam but I’m under the impression that they’ve contributed a lot to the recent developments in Linux gaming compatibility, and this has removed a pretty big hurdle for people who want to move away from windows, and I just think that’s swell.
They could try to offer a proper Linux Galaxy client, though. Especially since CP2077 locks some minor things behind being launched from Galaxy.
